I have a pathological need to keep all boxes. It used to be that I kept every
box including multiples, but that became rather overwhelming, so now I keep one
copy of each box, instruction set, and catalog insert that I get. I file the
catalogs and instructions in a filing cabinet (well, actually I put them in a
big pile on top of the cabinet with the intent to sort them into it at some
point), and break down all the boxes to store in a closet in the basement where
all my lego is. My intent at one time was to use all the boxes as decoration
when I remodeled the basement to become my Lego area, but that never really
happened. Oh well.
