| (...) Well, unless a set is New-In-Box, I wouldn't expect the holey bags or the catalogs to be there. Maybe I'm an exception, but I doubt it. The plastic inlays of the (very) large boxes, that's a different thing. I'd want those to be there. (...) (...) (25 years ago, 15-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

| FWIW, I only keep the box itself (the outside shell, with the printing on it). I don't keep any of the plastic bags or plastic trays. And if I buy a used set in an auction that says 'with box', I only assume that they have the outer shell of the (...) (25 years ago, 15-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

| I bought a few sets on E-bay, I bought them for the pieces and mini-figs, but I don't expect the plastic piece holders (You can buy the material for it at a very cheap rate), nor the cardboard container either. I just figure it is a waste of time (...) (25 years ago, 16-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

| OK - thanks to you and everyone for your comments. Good point about the newer bags that have sets printed on them. Perhaps I might start chucking out my bags - then I'll be able to save more space by putting more of the boxes inside each other. On a (...) (25 years ago, 17-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)
