I only keep the boxes if I think I'll use them. I still have Gen Springer's box which I probably am going to use for my photocomic sometime.

I like having the bio and product shots and the collectors cards and all that. The filling inside or the plastic bubble mean nothing to me, but I like having that extra stuff showing off and giving character to the figure. Rounds out the package nicely for me

On a more somber note. I keep all the cards, instructions and cut the backs off all things bigger than deluxe. I do this as a library card catalog or reference in a big file cabinet, so who ever inherits this stuff when I depart this mortal plane can have an index to organize it all and ... GET RICH!!!! :ic$:

Although I haven't been able to to part with/cut up MP, Platinum, and Takara boxes.

Anyone else really happy to see so many users online? My screen on my laptop (shoulda taken a screen shot) was showing 5 rows of users online. That is awesome.

It really is awesome to see so many people online. Wish this was how it always looked.

How I deal with boxes....

-Anything "standard" Hasbro gets gutted, wherein I'll keep anything that's not plastic.

-Everything else... is kept. Even bubbles and trays. I can't bring myself to get rid of anything exclusive or imported. 8-}

Like I said, I only throw them away if I know I am not planning to use it. Gen Springer's box is the only one I have kept currently due to the fact that I know I may use it for some comedic act or something.

I really want Wheelie, however I will probably skip out on Galvatron. He just keeps going in the red for me. I'll probably just make a good team of Decepticons for myself with a mix of characters. I really am hoping Overlord will be good. If I could get TR Soundwave with Laserbeak, Sixshot, and Overlord, that would be a great team right there.

Awesome! I found Wheelie today as well. He's a really strong figure. He looks great in both modes. He's a creamsicle warrior!

Been transforming him and Galvatron. Need to look up some stuff on Galv but Wheelie is really fun. MegsNucleon is riding inside him right now while Galv is in cannon mode

I may only have Galvatron and Wheelie, but that doesn't mean we can't have some Titanmaster related fun!

This is my favorite pose with the guy

And from the side, showing the Prime that he has no mercy

Wheelie also quickly learns there is no mercy in Galvatron

I would have waited an eternity for this. It's over Tron
No cliches Pri-
CHOOM!!!

Guess I don't get to keep his face... the mask will have to do...

TSCHE-CHU-CHU-CHU-TSCHE

Wait... what?

AAAAHHH! AAAHHH! WHAT IS THIS?!?! THIS IS NOT RIGHT!! WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?! AHHHHHH AHHHHHH!!!

And, for your amusement: MegatronNucleon getting a ride in Wheelie:

Multivitamins never show mercy!

The face blowing thing was really comedy gold there.

Success at last!

Nice, the TMs are a lot of fun.

Aww snap!

I really want to go all in on these guys, but I'm just not thrilled with PMOP and Scourge. That and the dang things aren't around. :lol:

They really are. I keep swapping Blurr's head for the other 2. It is so fun, as are the little vehicles. These are far more worth the $5 than the minicons are!

You should try out Blurr. It to me seems to be the best of the bunch and I really enjoy him!

I wish to get another Blurr to put the extra heads on. They really work on that body!

and thanks!

Not as many as this one

After having my figures for a day and doing a lot of messing around, I've come to the conclusion that Blurr is my favorite of the characters so far. The mold is awesome, and I've adjusted to the lack of paint. Hardhead is still very good though and I love Skullsmasher's croc mode. It is so sweet.

Oh, and Galvatron's cannon is still huge and awesome
