Anyone still have their old collection in boxes?

Like as in cardboard boxes do you have any of your old stuff from He-man or Ninja Turtles stored? I still have some of the lesser known stuff like a Power Lords figure's spike club and a Robo Force robot and other stuff besides my He-Man figures and GI Joe. When I was a little kid back in the 80s I had alot of He-Man figures including Spikor but whenever I moved to a differen town the figures just disappear mysteriously

It's no mystery. Your Mom dropped them off at Goodwill.

Most of my vintage Star Wars vehicles are from when I was a kid and they have their original boxes. The only other item with its box i had as a kid is my MOTU Zoar. Only He-man item I had as a kid.

im in the same perdicament
actually almost all my collections are in boxes with the exceptions of a few key figures and my CLERKs "inaction" figures they all are in boxes ATM

A toy going into storage is usually the first sign it's going away (traded/sold)for me...

My favorites always have a home to proudly display them. I try very hard to keep my stuff confined to my 'toy lounge', but the little guys are always expanding their territory.

There's a few exceptions, there's no way to display a few hundred pounds of legos, so some finished models get displayed and bulk pieces are sorted (or just dumped) into tubs.

I play Tetris when I unpack/pack my stuff from the boxes to show people. Lack of space and also I cannot put them to display because of the dust.

Buying a display made of glass is too expensive here and you cannot buy it in stores, need someone to make it.

exactly!!! tetris or slide puzzle constantly rotating in and around.

I collect Sideshow 12" figures and they take up ALOT of room when you have 15.. I think. So my Ghostbusters (full line but 2 Monsters Nasty Neck and Slimer with Proton Pack) just the other day went into sip locks and into plastic tubs. But MOC stuff is stacked or on the wall.

I just got a couple of old book shelves out of storage. Hardly anything fit! I've still got boxes and boxes of crap that needs displaying. Still my roommate got really jealous and picked up a small set of shelves for his toys. He only managed to get it about 2/3rds full. It wasn't long and he was up in my room drooling over my shelves saying, "I really really want more toys!"

LOL Daltron, Watch your things or they may suddenly appear on your roomies shelves lol. Hey Mega, my boxes are more like that game Jenga or is it Jinga where if you pull one thing out everything comes crashing down on you!

[daltron]

Dude he already did that before when he had my toys on his table. He got really depressed when I took them away. S'OK he just went and bought a bunch of Spawn figures. Your boxes are like Jenga huh...that sounds pretty nice, mine are like Jenga with Blockhead blocks, Pickup Sticks and a Barrel Full of Monkeys.
