same here with the smaller in bigger boxes. etc

i store all newer boxes like this.

after a massive clean up of my collection i have set up all old boxes by themes. if there are special parts or spare parts / double parts of a certain rare set i will put it in the box. ( for example i have a spare bell from the schuldturm / i keep this part in the box. )i keep all medieval houses in smaller boxes assembled. then i have wooden boxes for all my steck parts. also my fav. western klickys , loose medieval stuff are in different wooden boxes.
then there are storage boxes with feathers , small animals , hats , furniture etc.  also themed by medieval, 1900 , cowboys , pirates etc.
in the wooden boxes i have also stored klickys , house parts etc. from different themes in frost bags ( ? ) cheap , solid and you can see whats inside. love those.

I only keep old boxes with the photos on them, or those of sets that I know are rare or unusual. The rest get recycled. I tried keeping them at first but it just took up too much room.

I see that this problem is common to many people. I was thinking to try to fold them but this essentially ruins the box. On the other hand they take too much space. I'm expecting several new sets and space becomes precious. I wish playmobil could size the boxes of every set so that they could fit into the large(r) one of this set  ;D

I nest the boxes as much as possible, and the biggest boxes (with up to 5 or 6 boxes inside) are stuffed in the top of my son's closet. I'm grateful, though, for the second-hand sets that came without boxes as the closet shelf's pretty much out of space now.

I used to painfully archive all my boxes(cut and flattened) and plans but since they have become available online, I've dumped them :P

I'm sad to say that I get rid of my boxes. I actually kept four boxes of my favourite sets, though.

if one MUST throw away a box, at least cut out the front art work and save it in a file folder somewhere (or better yet, frame it and hang it on a wall!)  At least for the very pretty ones.

I throw all my boxes away. Firstly, I just don't have the space to keep them all and secondly ... What would I do with them anyway.
I keep all the plans together in a single box as I used to scan them and keep them on the harddisk and a USB stick.

These days I don't even have to scan them anymore  :love:
