If it's a G1, reissue or just plain expensive Transformer then I keep the packaging.

But modern stuff like Titaniums, Classics and Movie 07 - nah, I just rip'em open and chuck'em out.

Although I'll probably regret that when in twenty years Classics Voyager Primes MIB are going for $325+ on Ebay :-?

Similar to others, I keep boxes of new toys, but flatten them...

However, packaging for vintage figures, I keep in tact, those that are not on display are put in plastic storage containers and kept in my wife's and my storage place.

Carded items are opened carefully most of the time if they are worth keeping. If there is an insert with art on it, I take it out and save it.

Saving boxes takes up a lot of room though. Especially when you do not opt to flatten them...

I keep boxes for things that have them. For stuff in Deluxe-style packaging, I keep the cardboard backing and throw out the plastic bits.

I like the art, bio, tech specs, etc. on Transformers packaging, so that's why I keep a lot of it. I even did it back when I was a kid (although I've lost most of that now).

Oh, and everyone should keep Deluxe Bonecrusher's packaging. Come on, you know you love his bio.

I keep only the Takara and G1 reissues's packaging. Most of the boxes I have already thrown away are mostly Hasbro's

Old pic though, but this is just to show that i keep boxes, not to detail my current collection.

That's quite a display.

Where do you have space that big? Is it in the basement, or do you just have a huge bedroom, or something? All displayed in boxes it looks kind of toy store like.

Thanks Starscream227!

Originally, it was in my bedroom. My bedroom happens to be in the basement. I decided to just take my bed out of this room however, and moved it to the other bedroom in the basement.

If you want shelves like these, you can have them, from the Home Depot. These many ran me about $100ish.
