Some are kept in the original boxes. Most are all together in no particular order in ziplock bags.

I have to agree with a previous post, the video reviews on YouTube are much better for working out how to transform your favourite figure or new purchase.

Like many, I keep the instructions with the box the figure came from which are stored away whilst on display.

Any instructions which are folded up or creased and second-hand, I get my wife to iron them crisp and flat for storage in a large masterpiece box! ;)

That's not very organised. Finding a particular one wouldn't be easy.

Mine are alphabetical by name. They're not sub-divided by faction. Several per plastic wallet in a box file. The trouble is, none of them are the right size to fit an A4 wallet.

:lol: i know it's not but it works for me i really can't be bothered to separate by lines then by factions and what have ya it's very rare i use them as soon as i get new ones its in one bag or the other quick and easy

i did try to keep them alphabetical at the start but i horded loads of packets and boxes went through them all one day to get the instructions and had about 30 + it was easier to have 2 separate bags.

I've been scanning new ones as I get them (and collecting scans from sites like Botch's for old toys), then sorting them by continuity, faction, and sub-faction. Backed up on another drive, natch. The physical copies are unsorted though, and in several boxes.
