Sad, but true! I also do that with computer parts and anything that is of value to me.

yea thats exactly what i do too, but i need space so i have to let some stuff go, but its so hard that i dont want to throw anything away.

I took a look at my display and saw that I did indeed save the boxes to Unleashed BB and Classics Jetfire. I probably will save the boxes to all the classics and unleashed because its cool packaging.

I save my reissue boxes, vintage G1 boxes, vintage Beast Wars boxes/cardbacks, the 2007 BotCon Set Box, Cybertron Primus and Armada Unicron boxes.

I have 500 figures in my collection. I would not have the room if I saved all my boxes and cardbacks to every figure I owned.

Sure the boxes take space. But the toys stay new inside them ,and don't collect dust. Also the box, unapplied stickers, the instructions, along with the toys accessories give the toy more value to a collector's stand point. Wise to save the boxes.

If I've got a figure that's box worthy, I usually just keep them in there. Example: Robovision Prime. Like the box and will probably get another voyager Prime, maybe the G1 repaint, to open and transform. Got a few MP boxes too, everything else must go. Of course, I haven't been collecting modern age Transformers. Almost all of mine are original G1 so the boxes are looooong gone.
