Storage for boxes and extra pieces

[ob1ob]

I have a large walk-in closet that I have been using to store all of the boxes my statues come in. However I have run out of room, and it's become difficult to retrieve clothes (what the closet is actually for) because of the wall of boxes. So I have decided that they must all go into a storage shed in my back yard. However I have a few questions before I move them all out there. Should I be concerned about damage from heat, humidity, insects, etc.? I currently have all of the switch-out heads, hands, etc. in these boxes. What is a safe alternative to store these items? I definitely want to keep them in a climate controlled environment and safe from breakage. It would also be nice for easy access to change up the display of the statues. Thanks.

Some of these threads are for 1/6 scale but the ideas are sound.

sorry, can't help you with boxes unless you willing to throw away those foam & plastic trays then you can compact out the outer box.

I don't want to throw away the Styrofoam. If I ever need to pack the figures due to a move or selling, then it would make the job much harder. A member on the other forum suggested to flatten the boxes to store inside and store the foam in plastic bags in the shed. That seems like a pretty good idea.

If you store the foam seperately I suggest you mark each piece. Would be a * to have to mix and match at a later time.

Oh, for sure. It would be a nightmare trying to figure out which foam went to which statue.

this would just take up more space since usually the foams/trays fits the box.

Honestly, I've gotten so tired of the damn boxes I threw them out. Grail item boxes too. My basement was a mess and my family were so upset. I haven't attempted to sell any of my items because they are lifers lol. I do imagine the great difficulty I will have if i ever decided to part with an item

I store them in a makeshift shack in a small forest I own. Not joking.

Can I store my boxes there

Crawlspace in the roof. "Wrap them in plastic and away they go. I don't know why. There's boxes up there that have been there for years now.

i hope it's designed to withstand all those extra weights.
