This isn't a do you collect figures in box vs loose question. My question is for figures you do open, is there ANY reason to keep the boxes? I have kept the boxes from figures I have opened and they are starting to pile up.
Curious if there is any good reason to keep them or if I am just basically hoarding cardboard!

the only thing i think of is if for some reason they need to be sold down the line, you can re-package them and potentially get a little bit more from a collector who wants the original box too
I sell them. Feels wasteful to throw them away. Especially for rarer figs. Gives people an opportunity to buy cheaper loose figs and the box if they want to display boxed. And they’ll save some money.
I used to hoard them but it was just taking up too much space even inside a closet. At the same time, it does feel wasteful to throw them out when the card was in mint condition. Damaged packaging FTW for me.

I only keep the packages for certain special figures. So if it's like a collector's edition, something like that, and only if it's in good shape. The rest, I just cut the side portraits off, keep those in a small box. I usually also scan the back picture of the box, with the wrestler info on it.
Normal Elites, Basics and such figures from other lines habe to be trashed. No room for them. Yet I used to just keep the backcard of some as they don’t take up so much space and might be useful for whatever creative idea I may have in future.
Ultimates and Exclusives are a keeper.
Vintage boxes and cards and Hot Toys boxes are a keeper but I don’t think you were asking for that one.
I keep them but not entirely sure why. I have bought some figs loose so I don't have a box for every figure I have. I just started keeping them and have them in a cabinet and plastic bins now. I had some feeling I was eventually going to display like some people do with ultimates where you see the portrait on the side. I haven't decided yet but haven't been able to bring myself to trash them.
