[1orion2many]

:oSorry wasn't paying attention and voted for the wrong thing:D.

[autobreadticon]

i keep everything, even twist ties

[Tiby]

I usually chuck the inner bubble/box so I can flatten the boxes.

[gamblor916]

+1 keep everything, like autobreadticon even twist ties and baggies

Where do you guys keep your boxes etc.?? I chuck out most of my packages (I had a massive TF package purge in 2005), but even among the packages I choose to keep... well... see for yourselves! :p

i keep it all!! i cant help im a horder and i keep it anywhere i can stuff, i have actually been thinking of packing my boxes into plastic containers and then putting them up in the roof of the house so i have more room in my bedroom as i still live with my dad and brother.

[Paulbot]

I keep all the box but throw out the plastic bubbles and trays

[jacksplatt11]

the only packaging i have kept so far are of my masterpiece optimus and starscream, and titaniums because they are a box... all the rest are in the bin as soon as the transformer is freed

I keep all the packaging.... but not for very much longer I think

[Demonac]

I used to keep everything.
About 3 years ago, I purged the bubbles off of all the BW, BM, Armada & Energon cards.
It saved heaps of room. I'm now able to hang the cards on 1 nail per series.

[Pulse]

I keep all instructions/bio cards & all reissue boxes/original G1 boxes/MP Boxes/Any really nice boxes (usually Japanese :))

Every other type of packaging gets thrown out :) (sorry, I couldn't find the option that best summed this up)

[Golden Phoenix]

I throw the bubble of carded figures. Everything else (except twist ties) is kept.

[i_amtrunks]

For the smaller figures I keep the cards (although at first I cut them up), for larger boxed figures I normally only keep the back, and through the rest away.

Never keep bubbles and plastic, waste of space.

I do however keep Japanese and re-issue boxes complete.

[Firecracker]

Everything goes to recycling minus twist-ties. They come in handy in the garden. :p

[roller]

I use the twist ties to strangle nomes, yeah thats the correct spelling just ask Terry Pratchett

[JuzMel]

Haha if you've been here long enough, you would know that Icy and I hardly let our TF's breath, so yeah EVERYTHING is kept intact actually. :D But for the rare times they come out, I keep everything as well from the small transparent rubber bands, metal twists and even small cardboard pieces, all is kept.

[Gutsman Heavy]

I'm getting out of the packaging game, its all gonna go (except G1 and res-issues)
as pretty as the Takara packaging is I don't need it rotting in a cupboard somewhere.

Or you could just sell that unwanted Japanese packaging to me. :)

[Soundwarp]

I now cut the backing card out and keep it plus the instructions.

you'd pay moneys!? hmm...

[Autocon]

hmm should of added some more options

any BW packaging id gladly take off ur hands:D

psst STL dont give them ideas!!

[King Atlas]

I would love to keep all my boxes, but they take up too much space. The only reason I can think of keeping the boxes is re-sale value. I would probably never sell my collection anyway.....

[STL]

*doggy eyes* :D

[Zippo]

I keep it all, and store it in my storage shed along with my sealed transformers. Takes up a lot of room, espy the bulky wasteful American packages. Which is why I have been trying to purchase loose complete recent items, but its not as easy as it should be.

[Paulbot]

Does anyone know for certain that the plastic bubbles from Hasbro toys are recycleable plastic? Do people just assume it is? I assume it's not because they don't have the PET recycling symbol on them so I'm not sure and throw it all in the rubbish bin (and feel a bit bad)

[GoktimusPrime]

I assume it is and I've been chucking them into the recycling bin. *shrug* Maybe that's something we can add to the questions for Hasbro thread?

[roller]

I eat the packaging







No seriously

[dirge]

No seriously

I believe you, roller. It's scary how much sense it makes... :eek:

[TheDirtyDigger]

Keep some, throw others. Just depends.

Not getting enough fibre, eh? ;)

Put a lighter to some of the bubble plastic and watch the results. If it's a clean burn, then it's most likely PE/PP, (what milk bottles are made from) or if there is soot, then most likely PS.
