I save boxes from the Star Wars sets. My justification was that I was buying
these as a colelction. I buy every set, and I keep all the boxes, and
instructions. I also keep all my SW Lego separate from my other Lego. Of
course, I do have a tub of mixed lego form a ton of sets--but its all from SW
sets. Yea, I'm insane.
I save some boxes from other sets, if I think they are particularly cool or
collectable. I also save 1 of each unique catalog that comes with a set. Of
course that doesn't happen anymore. I have a small collection of cool S@H
catalogs--mostly for the SW marketing materials. Again, if it feels cool or
collectable, I save it.
The weirdest thing that I save is the Bionicle comic books. I have every single
one so far. I enjoy them a little bit, but I am really not into comic books. I
am also not that interested in Bionicle. I save them because I figure in 20
years they might really be worth something as a collection. I also save the
Mania magazine that they came with, thoa I really should pair those back to just
the ones with cool SW things in them.

If you have any Lego mania magazines from 1999-2000 with Star Wars themed
content in them, I would be interested in them--if you were just planning to
pitch them. :)
