    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.

    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)

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

    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.

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

    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. 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.

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