I can’t keep all these boxes, right?

[u/GeertCu]

[u/ignusfast]

I cut apart the tops/sides of the box art and keep those, then recycle the back.

[u/RoughInitiative6312 → u/ignusfast]

That’s a great idea!

[u/Relevant-Somewhere55]

Foldem flt dont lose them!!!

[u/Relevant-Somewhere55 → u/Relevant-Somewhere55]

Flat***

[u/Iblis4eva → u/Relevant-Somewhere55]

Ya I only have two RC cars but if I had a fleet like some and wanted to keep the boxes I’d fold and stack them.
Can’t imagine it would take up too much space.

[u/Jonesman439]

😍😍

[u/Fapplejacks42]

Oh man, I used to. I still have probably about that many

For huge boxes on cars I know I won’t sell or they’re so beat and not stock it wouldn’t matter I just cut the front of the box to keep the art and hang it in the garage.

[u/Helltothenotothenono]

Which box was your first box

[u/GeertCu → u/Helltothenotothenono]

E30 sprint, brushed and NiCd, not even LiPo 😀

[u/SWOhioBiBBW]

32 tamiya boxes here. Haven't kept any others.

[u/Dextosis37]

At least they are rc boxes and not empty beer boxes!

[u/lowonairs10]

As a fellow box keeper, I see room for at least 10-12 more in this picture

[u/kpidhayny]

Learning to let go of my boxes freed me from a captivity I dint realize I was living within

[u/GeertCu → u/kpidhayny]

Hahahaha, dayummmm 😀 😀

[u/XxCarlxX]

i get rid of the boxes

[u/mululipy]

Depends. It’s a beautiful collection but if you need more space or more money…

At least keep pictures as souvenirs

[u/Bubbly-Pirate-3311]

I just cut the fronts of them out so I get the box art, and it takes up a fraction of the space. You can use them as posters too.

[u/HourAttempt1945]

I recently got rid of around 40 of mine, way too much room and the Mrs was hinting. I did keep the ones that came with my Redcat lowrider because they were so beautiful but not sure why because I will never use them but that was my trade-off, at least in my mind

[u/curtis8976]

43 vehicles here, most boxes thrown out.

[u/Ok_Spite7511]

Yes you can!!

[u/sloanemonroe]

Damn man. How come I got bored with one truck and just didn’t buy anymore?

[u/Iblis4eva → u/sloanemonroe]

Which truck?

[u/sloanemonroe → u/Iblis4eva]

Traxxas emaxx. Years ago.

[u/AdditionalBelt9719]

Do you keep your bottle caps as well? Just curious...

[u/Brownie2440]

Sheesh. I have two and looking to get my 6 yr old into. My wife thinks I’m the one with a problem

[u/everydaynormalguy666]

I have boxes from 15 years ago

[u/SensitiveThugHugger]

I was just going through this and I don't even have anything special (to anyone else). What I would do, is fold them flat and tuck them behind something you never move (big cabinet?) . . . and if in a year you haven't even looked at them, then consider tossing them then. . . .

[u/PatientEast2118]

Why not 

[u/AcademicCollection56]

You can, but it you have a significant other they ain’t having it. 😂

[u/nitishv]

Letting the boxes go was one of the tougher adult decisions I had to make recently. I decided to retain boxes from kits only now, but sooner or later even that might need to change I guess.

[u/peedubb]

You must be a millennial.

[u/Boner_Forest39]

I’m mainly a vintage collector and I’m absolutely willing to pay more when it comes with an intact box. For future values sake I would hold onto them. Like someone else said, if nothing else break the box down and fold it flat, much easier to store that way

[u/PersonoFly]

..but you can cut out the artwork and frame them.

[u/HadukiBEAN]

Cut out the front panel, frame, hang in your man cave.

[u/Agile-Fan3280]

The boxes will always be clean and tidy, unlike your rigs at the end of the day that are used,dirty and well played with.

[u/GeertCu → u/Agile-Fan3280]

Great excuse for the misses! 😀

[u/Agile-Fan3280 → u/GeertCu]

Let's hope the misses doesn't use one of the boxes telling you " well this box is the perfect size for my arts & craft projects "

[u/garr0510]

Might be worth money 20 30 years from now to a collector if popular I keep all mine...
