I keep them and have since the mid-early days of my collection...before that I threw them out. I store them in the large space beneath my bed, though the idea of putting smaller boxes in bigger ones never occurred to me...what a moron I can be (...)

(...) I must say from my own experience that having your LEGO neatly sorted really does make building much easier. I have about 80% of my collection stored in clear plastic Akro Mils drawer units, sorted by both shape and color. (Wal-Mart recently (...) (24 years ago, 15-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.storage)

(...) I used to chop them up! I'd keep the front cover and the back cover and that was it. Then, when I was about 16 or so I found them (they were all stacked under my bed in one complete box, one of the police boats that floated, and I tossed them (...)

(...) The only boxes I currently have intact are from "my favorites", ones I could not bear to cut down because they had been my prize finds (6090, 6973, 6982, and 6286-etc.). The rest get folded flat or cut into backs and fronts, depending on (...) (24 years ago, 15-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.storage)

(...) Up until really last year and the Star Wars sets, I never was a duplicate set collector. Generally because I could never afford it. I still have the duplicate boxes of the SW sets, though in buying duplicates of the Shell sets, I'm only (...) (24 years ago, 15-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.storage)

Wow. I just got online for the specific purpose of asking the question. I expect at least 5 or 10 sets, including a few big ones for X-Mas and I'm tyring to figure out where to put em.

(...) The vacuum formed trays aren't styrene, they're #1 plastic (PETE). Our county has several recycling centers, so the ones I don't use for sorting (the Technic ones usually make nice sorting trays), I toss in with the soda bottles. (24 years ago, 15-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.storage)

I kept all my boxes for a while, but eventually gave up due to lack of space. I throw them out right away now. I never plan to sell any of my LEGO!
