Right now I'm storing the boxes in a few closets. But I sometimes wonder what's the point. It's not like I'll ever display the boxes and they only seem to be taking up space. If my collection ever gets "large enough" I'll probably have to start recycling them, or just sell them off on EBay.
 
My problem is I have more storage space than display space..:gah:
I have a cellar were all my boxess go..:yess:

Ah, empty boxes, the bane of every statue and figure collector... :lol

Even though I can't ever see myself selling much of anything, still gotta keep all the boxes in care I move house, or need to switch any pieces or and store them away, or if I get hit by a bus (or whatever), and my family wants to get rid of all, or most, of this stuff.

But damn do they ever take up room. Currently there's boxes under my bed, in the hall closet, in another closet, and taking up probably a third of the 'spare' room. If/When I run out of room in there I don't know what I'll do to be honest...and God help me if I ever need to ove into a smaller place. :lol
 
My God I have a ton of boxes. I use a utility space on the back of my garage for the empties... But it's filling way too fast. Sideshow is killing me with all these big items like the PF boxes or Yoda's hut etc.
 
This is the current state of my second bedroom....

That pic looks like it straight out of the hoarders show. :lol

The brown shipping boxes are all flattened out while the art boxes are what holds the roof of my place.
