Like Megs I tend to sell a lot of my older figures when there is something new I want to replace it. (like classics Galvatron to Henkei Galvatron to ManiaKing) or my generation ratchet and Ironhide to their henkei versions. I've cycled through so much place holder figures that stuff I didn't think I will ever replace gets sold too like (classics jetfire to asia exclusive Henkei jetfire to the new leader jetfire) lol see how many times Has/tak/third party makes us replace older figures? Also thought having the packaging will help sell the figure but whatever I gotta get rid of my packages they are taking over my space!

see, thats a tricky question. if i were buying a loose high end hastak item, yeah id want the box. but a loose 3P item, im not really compelled to "absolutely require" the packaging because its not an official product anyways, high end or not.Rated X wrote:This thread has me seriously contemplating throwing out a lot of my 3rd party boxes and taking my closet back. Even if I ever sell this stuff when I am old, will the box really matter ?

When I buy a used 3rd Party figure, I tend to treat the presence of the box - and the condition it's in - as a proxy for how well the seller has cared for the figure itself. Now, that might not reflect the reality on the ground, but lacking complete information, that's what I have to go on.

Gotta admit, while sifting through my many boxes a while ago Green Giant's is one on the "keep" list.
I was very tempted to keep the Feral Rex boxes too; they were so nice. But they're huge. Had to go.
