Statue collectors, Do you keep your boxes?

[ickzer1]

Its s space issue for me. I can't decide if I should keep the boxes and packing to all my statues or not. What do you guys do?

[Karnis]

I've kept all mine so far.

[kobayashi93]

Keep them. You might not ever sell them, but you might move, or put them in storage. I don't want to imagine how hard it is to box up statues for a move.

[moviemaniacks]

yeah, if nothing else I try to hold onto them for storage/moving purposes. I don't have that many though so its not really an issue for me

[Spawnomite]

yeah, if nothing else I try to hold onto them for storage/moving purposes.Same here. It's always best to reuse the original box.

[SpawnFan1]

I still have all the boxes yeah, mainly because I like them but they are also invaluable when you have to move!

[ickzer1]

I see. Thanks. Dammit gotta find some place to stick these. Space eaters for sure.

[scottbuckets]

I keep all of mine stacked up in the attic (in their original shipping boxes too) ... Although space is getting tight up there.

[MeguiarsEM]

I do, incase I move or decide to sell. Luckily I have a storage area for all my boxes.

I recently figured out what to do with all of my boxes. Put them in the attic if you have one.

[Docstu]

i keep mine. nothing like the safety of the figures own box when moving or having to put in storage.

[Hockeyfan74]

Definitely keep them for moving purposes. Stuffing them up in an attic or garage rafters is easy to do.

[crazypredator2]

yes i keep mine, if you ever decide to sell them, you can get more out of them with their boxes

[Marauderspawn]

I say keep the boxes if you can. You might need them later to store your statues. I have kept all my Batman black and white statue boxes.

[BoodaLuvr]

Yup, keep mine.

[happynoodle]

I have all of mine so far...

[ralph427]

Find room, closets aren't for clothes anymore :)

if they look really nice and are of good quality, probably. I have some 'statuesque' figures of Musashi from fewtures Vagabond series, and the boxes have such great aethestic quality to them that I use them as display pieces

[prescribeddrone]

I only have 3, but I keep them in case I have to move. I don't know what I'll do when I'll get to a certain point... I have no attic. But then again, I don't plan on having over 10/15 statues anyway...unless I win the lotto but then I'd get a bigger room ;)

[Ed Gein]

I've kept all mine--and they take up WAY too much space. But I will move someday and be very happy to have them.

[Undeadplastic]

I keep all of my boxes....I just bought a reg bookcase and put them in that in the garage. Works great.

[MASTTER]

I keep mine also !

[Holeman]

Hell yes, I keep them. What the hell else are you going to put them in if you ever move? Bubble wrap and foam peanuts just aren't going to beat a specially made, vacuum formed cradle of protection. Like, take the Green Lantern/Sinestro statue I bought a few years ago: the figures are attached to the base at two TEENY spots to give the illusion of flight. If I put that in a regular box to move it, I would get six, maybe eight pieces out after all is said and done. I pack everything in the box it came in, then pack more filling in if I need to. I also box and move all my fragile stuff myself so that I know my stuff isn't going to get ****ed up and I'll have only myself to blame if it does. Aside from one statue that the comic shop dude knocked off the shelf after I paid for it (and promptly refunded my ****ing money) I've never had a statue so much as chip in my ownership.

[danny_pacheco]

I KEEP THEM IN MY CLOSET

[WhO Iz THiZ Iz]

i have all of mine in my closet...kinda pathetic..i know.

[tatoman2525]

Definitely keep em.

[mikedanger]

as someone that has thrown out the boxes and moved twice in the past 4 years, i say KEEP YOUR BOXES! they're a huge pain in the ass to box up and chances are they're going to get broken. quite a few pieces of my collection have been superglued back together and it eats me up inside.

[Peter Hoffman]

I even keep the packaging for all my "specialty" toys (McF, NECA, etc.) for the same reason. A lot of them are as fragile as a statue. The only packaging I throw out is for stuff like ML, DCUC, etc.

[Viking Spawn]

Absolutely. I keep them for value purposes, completeness, design, & in case I ever move I can protect the statue by putting them back in their original boxes.

[CustomCreator]

well, I only have one techincal statue (Green Goblin) and I kept the box. But I also kept the box for my Jin-Roh Panzer.
Any of my "higher end" pieces I tend to hold onto the boxes...just in case

[Felty]

I keep mine I doubt I will ever sell them but just in case I keep them all. There up in my attic.

[MysticAirBender]

i have mine in the attic as well but if i didnt have storage it would be hard to keep them.

[F0RSAK3N]

I keep them but they sure do take up a lot of space!
