Sounds about right. I have the Golden Lagoon Starscream, which is about half gold plastic, and half gold chrome, but I know many of the other Golden Lagoon toys have a lot of chrome, and don't seem to have any issues.

Maybe.
I'm only keeping the Selects for reasons. All the other mainline boxes go straight to the recycling bin. Including the SS cardboard backdrops. I also take the time to separate the plastic windows from the cardboard of the boxes.

Good on you.
I just think the packaging is stellar and almost consider it a part of the toy. But three stories in and well...I need to get rid of it.

I used to keep boxes. Then I realized I was never going to display them, and the only reason to hold them was to possibly, slightly increase resale value on stuff I usually had no intention of ever selling.
Just chuck 'em. Trust me, you will save a ton of space and feel nothing for them once they're out of the house.

I'm sort of in that place right now. For pre-WFC, I only saved the cardback since they can all fit nicely within a bankers box. I have saved all the WFC boxes so far, and am reaching a point of selling some figures off, so I'll hang onto them a little bit longer for the slightly better resale value. But for the figures I know I'll have for a while (forever), those boxes are probably going to be recycled over the summer when I re-organize my basement to have a more permanent TF area.
But they are really pretty and I do feel bad ditching them. I will be saving the more special boxes (reflector 3 pack, pit of judgement, commanders and titans).
Well in my case it's not even a difficulty, as I never intended to throw mine out. I guess it all depends on what the boxes mean to your collection. Several other members have shared how they view the boxes. Some like them, some don't. I use them as background art for my display. So think about how you view your collection. Are they always on display? Do you store some of them? Do you have the room? Do you view them as part of the collection, or extra (but not unnecessary) leftovers? Once you figure out if the boxes are important, you can decide if you want to keep them.sol magnus wrote:Definitely not helping, LOL.
