I thought I was the only one? I also save the boxes, some are used for spares, ordnance etc. Running out of room to the point some are now in the trunk of the car.

I haven't built that many yet, so I just saved that box.

Bin it! I can get sentimental over the kit but not over a bit of cardboard :-)

Iam smarter and sneakier than all of you! I save them and when I get a new model, I throw away it's box and put the sprues and stuff in the old one I just emptied. This way my wife never knows I bought a new model. I know I am a devious stinker. I only have 6 or 7 boxes, not counting the four Abrams boxes.


Hehehehe

I occasionally save the Dragon/DML figure boxes, because they fold flat and fit in the filing cabinet. Armor kit boxes, well I guess I am as heartless as Gunnie... reduce, reuse and recycled.

.I wouldn't suggest doing this to your living room..

Doh!....dang it...(bangs head on livingroom wall covered w/tops)

No, really.
One day, in the near future..when I finish one ...and am happy with it...i'll throw the box away.
I promise.

I keep the artwork but not the whole box. I especially keep the artwork from figure kits for conversion reference and to show sources for parts I might need to make a particular figure.
