Re: Action figure collection inquiry
One problem I have is keeping the packaging once I finally get around to opening stuff. I have a hard time throwing out the packaging, thinking maybe one day I might need it for something? Like what, I have no idea. I have finally gotten into slicing the bubbles off and just keeping the basic cardbacks, but for larger boxed toys I still keep the packaging. I think it is partly that I think, "hey I paid for the packaging too, why throw it away?" as well as "what if I go to sell these one day and someone wants the open packaging? (but why would anyone want that?!)"
Does anyone see value in keeping open packaging? Definitely for premium items like Masterpiece and 3rd Party Transformers I would think, as well as Lego sets I imagine. But what about regular mass-market boxed Transformers? Star Wars vehicles? And does anyone keep their opened Marvel Legends packaging, like those ToyBiz clamshells? I was looking at all the wasted storage I have because of this stuff and wondering if I should just chuck it all.
