    In plastic wallets, sorted by line, and the wallets are held in a box file for safekeeping.

    if its a voyager or bigger, it goes back into the box and into the closet, deluxe and below, it gets chucked with the packaging.

    Before I put all of them in 1 big Ziploc bag but then my collection become pretty big and when I forgot how to transform 1 TF, its was hard to find his instruction.

    So now I have many smaller Ziploc and I separate all of them by the toyline. Except for Animated that I separated by Autobot and Decepticon since I almost have everyone the the Animated line. I am missing Lugnut, Blitzwing, Blackarachnia and Ratchet but I don't want them.

    I wish I kept all my instruction sheets in a logical, easy-to-find manner... :lol 

    I just bundle them together by line & store them in empty TF boxes, & whenever I'm having trouble transforming a particular figure - I have a pretty good idea where that particular instruction sheet is... :eek:

    Lately, I have been keeping some of the deluxe card backs and I throw them with the instructions into ROTF Ironhide box.

    Before I had that box, my instructions were all over the place....

    Good idea Benzo. I've got mine in 3 pull out drawers but they're a bit of a dog's breakfast. They are sorted by series and all but the biggest problem is the drawers are only about 4.5" wide so everything is folded up. Makes it a pig to find stuff sometimes. Think i'll loot the wife's office today and find some of those fan folders.

    Now... who can help me with the shit show setup i have going for missles and accessories??? Time to have a parts identification party...

    Randomly into a box. When the box is full, start a new one. I probably have 2-3 boxes around. Would be a pain to find the one I wanted. I probably should organize but don't. Currently my ROTF ones are behind the figures on the shelf. When I get to many, I'll put them in a more permanent box.

    I have them all in a shoe box. They'll be there until I figure out a good method that works for me.
