    As Mr Ed has said,get those big roller boxes, they stack anyways when jnot in use so it saves space. I keep my stuff in em so that no water damage get to em. Also, they're sturdier than a box.

    sorry to hear that jay... i believe using a wooden pallet as base would be best.
    i did suffer water damage previously when i had mine all in boxes in the garage too but lucky they were all loose and wrapped in ziplock bags.

    well, time to get some more display cases and show your assets

    I am back in Melb and I bought a heap of plastic containers at bunnings for $8.80. To be safe, use the side locks to lock them, then sticky/packing tape around the edges.
    Pretty safe that way.

    Wow, I have my collection displayed the same way.

    Sorry to hear about the damage. You might be able to restore the boxes by ironing them with a sheet between the box and iron, but the laminate might peel and glue unstick. If they're MOSC then I don't think they're fixable.
    Which brings us to where we are today...

    Wow! Sorry to hear that but on the other hand, I am glad that most of your toys were saved specially the irreplaceable ones!

    I always store my figures in those big plastic containers, the one you get from Reject shop. Sometimes I use those big zipper plastic bags which are also pretty ware proof. I recommend to use plastic boxes for all the high end hard to replace toys for anyone who has them in storage.
