[@Deadspace448]

The earlier Gi Joe Classified boxes are much harder to throwaway because of the glamorous window display, stylish art work on the side panel and neat back poster that it makes each one a work of art you want to keep for your personal toy room display. That's why I started throwing away the windowless ones first, especially the large vehicle sets like the Cobra Stinger because its just digital renders that look flat and uninteresting. Also I prefer opening and displaying my figures for fun so it feels liberating not having to worry about losing more space on your shelf. The only Classified boxes I intend to keep are Haslabs, Pulse exclusives and sealed minted figures. Very relieved you went through a similar process as I did and have a great day!

[@CloneH38]

I've been collecting 34 years, and most of my toys are in 3 places..two toy rooms and the garage in tubs and footlockers. I've thrown away some boxes damaged or not interested in keeping, but most everything I have are still in boxes and cards..but I do have massive loose collection. I do have the original 80s Transformers Generation 1 boxes, however I chopped them all down and cut the end flaps off and threw them away. It does take up space, but I have displays, banners and empty boxes, Cereal boxes advertising Star Wars or other movies, Puzzle boxes, boxes that hold those Star Wars plushies you might see at Target. One day, I'll do a full video of my collection on my KZbin channel when I get everything out and displayed. I just don't currently have the space. Sorry to see, you had to throw away those boxes to eliminate clutter...but I guess it had to be done.

I am an in-box figure collector but, I keep all the boxes of the few things that are displayed just in case I decide to sell them down the line. It definitely is an OCD thing and really annoying. LOL

I used to be an in box collector but I switched to opening and displaying figures after the first 10 years of collecting because it saves so much space, there is after all a limit to what we can collect and space is valuable and like JB I have no intention of selling any of my stuff anyway, I used to have a garage full of boxed toys before I donated them all to charity and honestly it’s such a weight off not having to pay storage costs and not having this mountain of stuff wasted and not being enjoyed.

[@aubreysmith7355]

Edit You got me. I thought you were throwing out unopened toys. Lol. I was so mad ....All I could think was how christmas toy drives start in a month and they start taking toy donations. I mean they are still in the box. I know you are thinking " but these are adult collectibles" but man I d be stoked to get one of these if I was a kid. With so many people struggling after the hurricane I m sure they could have used them. At minimum I m sure you could have just found a place that take donations without the toy drive aspect. I get that selling them might be a hassle but ...I mean how cool would it have been if you got them into the hands of some kids. Pisses me off to be honest. They were still in the box and they were awesome toys a lot of kids/parents would never have been able to afford. It would have made a way more click bait/feel good video too!!! Please please consider for next time if there is one.
