Does anyone else keep the full box???
« on: February 16, 2013, 04:20:31 PM »
I'm curious... I think I might just cut the art out and throw the rest away... But I was just wondering if anyone else did

I don't see the sense in keeping the whole thing, honestly. I just cut out the art and threw away the rest.

Although, I did keep one of the Scaris backdrop things, and the scroll-y trim from those. So basically, in the case of the Scaris dolls I have, I kept the whole box but cut it up into smaller pieces.

Not me......I actually just rip them apart and throw the whole thing away. :P   Not a MIB collector here, nor do I care about other parts of the packaging. I just want the doll.

Nope, nope, nope.

I rip the box up in the process of opening it, and then I throw it away. Why bother keeping the art when I can see it online?

I don't have room for the boxes in my little apartment! I always remove the dolls and recycle the boxes!

Yes... :blush:
I take the inside piece out and then flatten the boxes down. I have a giant box.. full of boxes. I do however have some box art that is cut out from the box.

I tend to keep backcards, unless it's just a picture of the actual dolls.

I cut out the artwork on the back of the boxes as well. I've been tempted at times to keep boxes, since I'm an artist and have a graphic design background. I like pretty packaging. XD I don't really have enough room for my dolls though, let alone a collection of boxes.

i tried. but it just takes up way too much room. so I cut all the backcards, and some of the little artworks off the box. takes up way less room

Since I'm new to these dolls I've been keeping the boxes so far but already have a huge stash and have been thinking of just cutting out the artwork and tossing the rest.   :lol:

In the beginning, 2010, I saved the complete boxes.  I loved (and still do!) the entirety of the box art, from the art itself to the colors used and even the spines!  But then they started to change things little by little and I started to like the boxes less and less.

I've kept all the signature boxes, the cards the dolls are attached to and all, because they are all differently colored.  The newer Basics, all look exactly the same once the doll is removed, so I cut out anything art-like and pitch the rest.

I still have GB, and DotD Wave 1 boxes too.  Anything other than that is cut up into tiny pieces, for some sort of scrapbook thing someday.

Random:  My ex-husband and best guy-friend were pretty pissed about moving "boxes of empty boxes" from my house to my apartment.  Called me a Hoarder:(  All in jest, I hope :lol:

Kitter- sounds like when I was moving. I had a box full of boxes and bags full of boxes lol. My husband was like "what are you doing with those?!?" I'm like "keeping them! Of course!"

I guess I'm the oddball. For some reason I don't like cutting up boxes.. I like them to be whole. I suppose once I'm totally out of room and stash spots then I will have to come up with a different plan!

Well I have my MIB collection... And then I am slowly getting a complete second collection.. Si I was debating about keeping those boxes... But since I have the MIB ones I think I will cut out the artwork and toss the rest... My apt is tiny!! I'm in a 2 bedroom with 5 people... Lol.. So space is necessary :)
