I can understand the issue with boxes. I've struggled with which ones to keep and which ones to throw out. On one hand the boxes are just packaging, on the other they are kind of like part of the artwork that goes with the figure and not just something to keep them in.
But, I want to
see my figures. I just couldn't really enjoy them without having them out somewhere in full view. Then again, I don't have 200 figures/boxes to deal with. I'm only up to 40... I can still count them fairly quickly.
