I display mine.   :love: :love:  The rest of it is kept in crates underneath the tables.  Although I think I'm very lucky to have this space.

I used to do that... untill it became undoable. Thing is, with the space I have and the playmomountains, just about anything gets undoable  :-[

There's a lot to keep track of, which I find myself failing to do a good job of! There are curently 120 structural firefighter figures that have been customized, & each vehicle has a crew of 2 including a driver & vehicle OIC, 14 ambulances with crews of 3, plus the entire brush fire fighting unit of 40, & the new 4821 engines each have operational crews of 4, due to being rescue engines. ;)

i keep them in the original boxes - if i have them - and put these boxes in another bigger box. loose material i keep in freezer bags. then i have some wooden boxes with themes like "indians" / "knights" ( loose ) etc.  +  i made some custom wooden boxes for my favourites.  :wave:

Just wait! The more you hang around with us, the bigger your obsession will grow, & soon closets, cubby holes, under beds, entire rooms, buying storage buildings, plastic bins, mounting shelves will consume you to house your collection! :lol:

Yep, it's true! It starts as a couple of big tubs, then you'll clear a whole closet, then you'll find you've outgrown the closet and have to put some of it elsewhere... then you're buying a shed, moving to a bigger house.... it snowballs. 8}

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.
