All the weight from the figures on top will crush the ones on the bottom. Toy boxes etc are the worst offenders for breaking toys. I've a really good condition G1 Prime that I've had since a kid, it was the 2nd one I owned as I carried the 1st everywhere with me to the point he had masses of chrome and paint wear, a broken arm (toy box) and his head would keep coming off.
Anyway, the 2nd one suffered a blow to the front bumper which broke off at his hip whilst in the... Toy box! Gutted!

I use to throw away the packaging for all the ones that came on cards. So, I was thinking that I would zip lock those ones and put them in a bin if I needed to store them for some reason. Is there a better way to store them?

I used to have just a couple shelves for display, so I would rotate my collection frequently.
As for dust, I'm not sure why you say "you can never get dust off of Transformers". It's actually quite easy. I recently bought a load of loose figures that were covered in a thick layer of dust, and all it took was a few minutes with a very slightly damp cloth and a few Q-tips to get them looking brand-new again. If there's dust in little spaces you can't reach, a shot of compressed air will take care of it.
Don't let a lack of space or fear of dust prevent you from displaying your beloved figures!

same. Heck, considering I might have stuff on pre-order that gets autoshipped, maybe even after that!

I think I may have to bring my own collecting to an end, once I find the final three figures for my displays: PRiD Skyquake, FoC Grimlock and FoC Starscream. Already on its way is my first and only third party figure, for the PCC shelf.
I.. think this is it. I'll keep on collecting comics, and will have a look at toys and won't say no once or twice a year, if something is REALLY good. But I think this is it for me.
