Where do you store pop boxes?
For those of you who display your pops out of the box, what do you do with the boxes?
Between DD and myself we have about 35 pop. They look great out of the box so that is how they are displayed and those 35 boxes all fit nicely into 1 large storage container.
I don't intend to have my collection be much bigger (but then again I didn't think DD and I would have 35 pops within a matter of 3 weeks) and wonder what to do with the boxes?
For the other items we collect i just flatten the boxes but i don't want to do that with the pops as the insets also need to be stored.
I plan to get another container but at some point it's going to overtake my house's limited storage.
thanks!

Re: Where do you store pop boxes?
I have a large bag storing the boxes in my closet. My pop collection won't get too large as I mostly collect Wobblers.

Re: Where do you store pop boxes?
I put the boxes behind each figure. It looks nice but once there are more to collect, I'm going to have to replace the boxes with the newer Pop! figures. I have 85 and I've gotten them all to fit, with boxes!

Re: Where do you store pop boxes?
I saw that when I went there a couple weeks ago, was considering picking that up. You can buy extra shelves for $3 too.

Re: Where do you store pop boxes?
I flatten and file them in a ziplock Containers/tubs by series. I then put a post I think note on the inserts and file them I need a different type of plastic container. These are all stored in a 1/4 of my doll room. I have about 1000 pop boxes stored this way.

Re: Where do you store pop boxes?
I store them all in my guest bedroom walk-in closet. I thought about breaking the boxes down but I really didn’t want to separate the boxes and clear inserts. So they are just stacked along the walls and on the shelves.

Dang. Good deal. $15 bucks to store about 60 Pop boxes. That's one way to save the boxes so you can put it away once you rotate your collection.

That definitely is a great option! I still cannot believe 60 boxes fit in there.

Re: Where do you store pop boxes?
I have all my pops in pop sleeves and stored in Funko shipping cases. Fits 6 per case. The cases stacked. I will put them out once I get a shelf.

Re: Where do you store pop boxes?
I have about 350 oob before I ran out of shelf space. The boxes are inside Hot Topic shipping boxes and stacked in an utility cubby. I'd put them in the garage but I'm worried about the damp. Everything else is in box and literally tossed around the house wherever it will fit until I get more shelves up. I'm considering getting a storage unit. It would be good for boxes, holiday stuff I only need once a year, extra furniture now that kids are starting to move out and whatnot.
Also, what's with all the post necromancy?

Re: Where do you store pop boxes?
In the recycle bin. Sometimes if people catch me before I find a home for those pops, I might trade or sell a box. And then other people know that the boxes go bye-bye in our house so they'll specifically ask me for them since they know how we roll.

That is very nice of you to trade and sell to people you know. Recycling the boxes is one way to save spave.
