White Mailer Box discussion

Recycle people!
I am currently building a beach house with my mailers.

**Vlcan** · August 20, 2011, 06:43pm

Yeah, I keep them.

**j-bird** · August 20, 2011, 08:31pm

I have been keeping them, and now we've been packing to move, so they've all been un-flattened and re-filled with MotUC figures. I don't know if I will continue to keep them after we move.

I probably will. I'm OCD that way, I guess.

**Staff Of Ka** · August 20, 2011, 08:48pm

I keep one of each for my MOC figurs, and I keep all of the empty white mailers in large 'U-Move' boxes in the garage in case we ever move!

**TheFallen** · August 20, 2011, 09:15pm

Recycled. That is why I hope Mattel never decide to make these collectible in any way. No need to have pictures on them because next thing you know there will need to be a mailer to keep the white mailer from getting damaged. I can see the uproar now. Petition to add a mailer to the white mailer to avoid damage.

Mind you I could always start a new collection MIMWM - Mint In Mint White Mailer. with uncut tape

I'll probably regret is one day, but I toss the mailer boxes and packaging with the exception of the card backs and box backs. I just don't have the room with two large toy collections. I keep my display to an old entertainment center; I rotate out when I have enough new acquisitions to do so. Motuc will be the first line I actually buy a couple books shelves to display everything; though if it goes the gijoe route and gets all vehiclely that may change. Until a few months ago I had every motuc to that point moc and one opened; as my newborn neared one, I realized that storage space is needed for much more precious and meaningful storage. While I like that the boxes are to protect the figures, it is kind of annoying because there are questions of MOC and MISB because of them.

But the Boxes are a must keep for me!

You're absolutely right, Eternianghost: I've seen people selling boxes on Ebay (and yes, there was actually a bidding, not that expensive, though). I just keep everything: boxes, cards, blisters... everything! Mwuhahaha

**Staff Of Ka** · August 21, 2011, 04:40am

Ive also kept enough boxes for the figures pre 'White Boxes' and just written their names on the front!

**Dragonblaster** · August 21, 2011, 05:14am

No, I usually throw my trash into the garbage can

But then I used some as parcels...

**CocoaSmooth** · August 21, 2011, 05:41am

I would toss them only after I have AFA'd them. But I end up keeping them just incase.

**Falconhood** · August 21, 2011, 07:03am

no. i reuse them to mail other things. and the package becomes trash.

**Tundra_Torque** · August 21, 2011, 08:34am

Nope, I trash them.

**Crusader** · August 21, 2011, 10:02am

The ones that came with the figures I opened are thrown away but I my whole MOC collection is kept in the white boxes for now due to a lack of space.

**StraightEdgeHe-Man** · August 21, 2011, 10:11am

I still have all of mine, I figure they'll come in handy when I move

**Kowl** · August 21, 2011, 01:22pm

I keep all of my white mailer boxes, but I don't consider them collectible.
I consider them practical for storage and moving purposes.
I'm not sure I'm a fan about them putting the characters names on them though. I was content with just the part number as the only identifier.

If anyone is looking to get rid of their mailer boxes, check out my post in the marketplace section. I am missing four mailers.

there are some people who for some reason consider the box to be part of the MOC collectible and are downright FURIOUS if their solid white protective box is dinged or damaged...

I would recommend trying to hook up with one of them and seeing if anyone needs the ones you have.

Check the threads complaining about about the new 'shipping practices'...

Well don't laugh, I just saw a listing on ebay of someone selling an empty King Grayskull 1.0 box for $40.

**Stinkor's Gas** · August 21, 2011, 02:42pm

First post.. Hi

I keep my MOC collection in their white boxes at the moment. For my loose collection I display the figures and I keep the packaging in the mailer with any accessories I don't display/use much.

The first time I get any figure they go to my MOC collection. The second I get of a character goes to my loose.

My display has evolved into a great Masters Pyramid.

Nice

**StrikeoftheBeast** · December 7, 2011, 11:11pm

I wanted to. But I don't think I can. Too space consuming.

**Weasel** · December 8, 2011, 12:09am

I have been saving mine, but they do take up to much space. I even flatten mine!

**kup** · December 8, 2011, 12:23am

I save mine although they are becoming a storage problem.

**FakeEyes22** · December 8, 2011, 12:58am

I've been saving them with the packages placed back inside, but I'm getting really close to tossing them all in the recycling bin.

**slackrguy** · December 8, 2011, 01:20am

I do not save mine.

**Man-E-Toys** · December 8, 2011, 01:27am

nope. i recycle mine.
