    2nd bag maybe... :wink: 



    I use those little totes. Pretty cheap.

    A way to keep things organized is maybe have a different tote (or bag) for each series. Armada bag, ROTF bag, etc. This way it is easy to find a specific instruction. You just have to remember what series it came from.

    Wow, that looks pretty bad ass. I wish the new instruction sheets were folded the same way as G1.

    I REALLY like the binder idea! I just got back from the office supply store, got a pack of sheet protectors and my wife is picking me up a 3in binder at her school on Tue. I'm kinda OCD so I'll probably alphabetize by series as well LOL! I find that kinda stuff fun. I wish I wouldve asked this question 4 years ago before I threw out ALL my cardback to make room for other stuff! LOL!

    Not when they have the profile printed on the reverse side. Most of mine have that. Then they go into a box that something was shipped to me in.

    Mine are thrown in an old Energon Shockblast box, but this thread has given me some nicer ideas.

    I usually leave them out, just laying about for a few days, and then I toss them in a dressor drawer at the foot of my bed.

    That's also where I keep random missiles and loose accessories.

    in the same ziploc bag with the loose figure it belongs to. when i sell part of my collections, i don't like to sort through hundreds of instructions to find the match. i don't usually use the instructions unless the toy is expensive and complicated, but some people out there might be anal about the inclusion, so why not, might fetch couple extra cents on whatever i'm getting rid of.
