that your wahmer manz come in?

I find myself keeping all of the boxes and stacking them in what I call "The Tower of Wasted Money".

I used to..... When I threw them out, I can only imagine the look on the garbage mans face.... "What a Freakin Dork!"

Lot of room he has to talk.... he handles rubbish for a living!

ha. yeah, mine is getting pretty redonkulous. I might need to throw it away soon.

of course......how else am i gonna travel with my armies.

I consider making paper models of vehicles using card from them and saying it's 100% GW materials

Yes. They're all full of half empty sprues and piled up to the ceiling from the top of my wardrobe. I really hate them being there, because it makes me realise how much I've spent on this hobby, though I'm wont throw them away because I don't really ever throw anything away. I might need them again someday.

Yep. the plastic sprues - they can make a proxy army too - vide sprue necrons

I've kept all of the boxes that have had separate top and bottom pieces because they come in handy for lots of things. If nothing else, they end up being good boxes for transporting rhinos.

But the one piece boxes with flaps, like the kind that skeletons and zombies and such are shipped in, those end up in the recycling bin.

I cut the artwork or pictures off the fronts and stick them to my bedroom wall. Everything else gets incinerated.

I tend to use my old boxs for buildings and other bits

I take the art from the boxes and tack it to the gameroom wall. This makes my opponents scared because they're surrounded by Ork Stuff on all 4 walls AND on the gametable, too!

I don't keep the boxes as I don't have room. I do try to chop up most of them though to use for scenery or bits.

I melt the sprues over a fire, using the Boxes as fuel, and cast more minies

100% GW purchased plastic. its even the same thing that came in the box.

I keep the ones with separate tops and bottoms for holding stuff while I prime and for holding WIP models. When I start emptying them out I throw out the oldest ones.

I keep them for as long as they remain useful.

I keep them, mainly for terrain and WIP.

We have some terrain one of our local guys made out of Beer cases(he owns a bar)

they are Highrise type buildings with intierior structure made out of Balsa wood. they are interchangable and can have each level removed for movement within.

the only thing, he didn't paint them so it says Corona, and Coors lite all over, but then again it makes sense to be fighting over.

"Beer for the Beer god"

I keep them as long as they remain useful, so I throw them out at once. I can find a box anywere, don't need one that has artwork on it.

I keep my boxes to transport and store my tanks and non-infantry. I also keep the spues so that I can use them as ruble in ruins.

I just consolidated some of my boxes a few weeks ago. It got out of hand, considering how many boxes the average Guard army needs!

Yeah, I do keep my miniatures boxes.

I keep my whole history of gaming. I have a poor memory so keeping things like sales receipts, packaging, old graded schoolwork and other things helps me greatly. The boxes are also useful for storing sprues. I bought multiple tyranid battleforce boxes and they're split up by, genestealer sprues, warrior sprues, gaunt weapon sprues, monstrous creature weapon sprues, and empty blisters/paints/glues. I have the completely empty sprues in a box somewhere because I remembered about a website that recycles them in exchange for stuff, but I forget the name of the site.

They're great for sorting and great for storing, boxes get an A+. They also come in varying sizes!

I keep the bigger ones, but I use them to prime models.
The smaller ones get pitched.

I keep them and use the card to build terrain if I need it.

No. I recycle them.
