What do you guys do with your old boxes other than use them for displays
Other than using them for displays what do you guys do with your old boxes as I have some just laying around and I use a display case to display my mystery Minis

Re: What do you guys do with your old boxes other than use them for displays
I carefully break them down and store them away.
By breaking them down, I mean i open both ends of a box and flatten it and then stack the inserts on each other. This way you can keep the boxes nice and tidy but still enjoy your figures!

Re: What do you guys do with your old boxes other than use them for displays
I keep boxes too, so glad I'm not alone!
I usually like to keep 2-3 extra boxes, and keep the display case if I get one. For series I really like, I'll even buy extra boxes, unopened, to keep.
I never though about unfolding them to keep them flat, that's a great idea!

Re: What do you guys do with your old boxes other than use them for displays
I keep one of each box type (like exclusives) in tact and stack them, and then recycle the rest. That way I can see what the box looked like back when, and what was in each set if I needed a refresher and for some reason it wasn't on the internet

Re: What do you guys do with your old boxes other than use them for displays
I keep all my boxes in trash bags but should probably fold them up to save storage space. I imagine i will need to re-box them the next time i have to move and it will be easier to move/prevent damage by putting them back in the plastic bags and original boxes.

Put them under the house in these giant Home Depot bins. Fits about 50 regular pop boxes without having to break them down at all.

Pretty neat idea. Now where are the inserts? Lol[/quote]
They get all put together in the themes and rubberbanded together. I use a small round label to mark on them what each insert was for. Name of figure, number and exclusive or anything else. It is a tedious process to get started, but with 1200+ Funko, you find you lose room in storing all the boxes and have to figure out other ways.....

Wow, that is seriously hardcore!
I feel like a delinquent now - with the minis, at least, I just throw the boxes away.

Re: What do you guys do with your old boxes other than use them for displays
Are we talking about mystery mini boxes or pop boxes? This is posted in the blind bags sections so that leads me to believe you mean minis, in which case I see no reason at all to keep the boxes so I rip them open and throw them all away.
As for pop boxes, they are all kept in my closet or used as risers, I don't throw any away or break them down, for now.
If I ever move to a more permanent location to live, I'd probably throw a lot of the common boxes out to save space, but don't quote me on that, haha.

Hmmmm, I never imagined anyone was an in box collector for minis, the boxes are non-descript as far as what's in them, no window to see the product, so I don't understand why people would keep their boxes. No hate or anything, people can do what they want, just doesn't make sense to keep a box that doesn't even show you the exact item that's in it.
