| A bit of advice please. I have maybe about thirty large sets that I have yet
to build. (don't worry I will eventually). I have bought them over the
years and they are open and/or maybe built and so the box integrity is not great
. What do you think that the best way of storing them with limited space and
not to damage the boxes further? I have seen people disassemble them, stack
them inside each or....
Any suggestions as it may take me a while to build them all!
Thank you in advance

I tend not to use the box after it's assembled. If I'm looking to replace
a set in my display area or build something else, I tend to brake the set down
and us Ziplock style bags (dollar store brand) to store the parts. Then I'll
place all the bags for a specific set in a grocery bag to keep them all together
and write the set number on the bag for future identification. I find it really
depends on the amount of storage space that you have and the size of the set
too, obviously.

The boxes are worth keeping for large sets IMO.
Storing them flat is really the only way unless you have a ton of space. I seal
them up in garbage bags and put them in the shed if needed.

Various size to fit all sets. Sometime I would store by colour within the set,
to make it easy if either selling or rebuilding
