    What do you do with your Transformers Masterpiece boxes? I've just got mine displayed (and taking up valuable shelf space) next to the figures. If you store them, how do you store them and keep them in good condition?

    I don't keep many boxes, but I did keep my Masterpiece boxes, and some others. Right now they are stored in huge Rubbermaid tupperware containers. I put all of them in cardboard boxes and theb put them into the Rubbermaid containers. I only go through all that because I figure that should keep any moisture out, as well as protect them.

    I keep all my Japanese boxes.

    Which has come a bit of an issue recently as nearly half of my entire collection consists of JP imports, and nearly all of them are big ones.

    My MP boxes have become less of a clutter and more a part of the furniture. >_>

    Of all the packagin for newer Transformers, the MP boxes are the few worth keeping. IMO, they look good, are sturdy and great for storage since they're not some funky shape like most US packaging.

    I've kept my MP boxes just for when we move. Seems to be the safest route for travel.

    Mine are in rubbermaid containers, on top of smaller stuff of course.

    I thought about lining my boxes up on the top shelf of my closet, but I was afraid of them getting too dusy (not that I live in filth). I may have to invest in some rubbermaid containers for them.

    The MP boxes are the only TF boxes that I've kept. Partly because they look wonderful and partly because, as has been said, they are not oddly shaped and can easily be stacked.

    I only tend to display one or two TF's at a time, so whilst the Alts and movie formers are stored on a shelf in my wardrobe, the MP's get thier own boxes to chill out in.

    Well, a Masterpiece toy has to have SOME privileges of rank...
