When I was very young, maybe 9 years old, I had this cardboard box, much like a keyboard box. In it, I had my Buck rogers and Battlestar Gallactic figures lined up inside. maybe a dozen or so figures total, and the lid flipped up. pretty cool for 1979!

I also had a vinyl Star Wars case for those figures.

When I first starting getting joes in like '83 or so, I also got the APC with my first joes, so most of them sat inside that.

hey, me too! oh the memories... still have that suitcase, which now contains some childhood papers...
i used to store my MOTU collection in a suitcase...

although when I (or we) started with joes, we started keeping their packaging, and returning the toys to their packaging after play... until of course, they became more than a couple of dozen figures, and we dispensed with the cardboards (if i only knew then... lol)...

the only time i used a shoebox was to make bedrooms complete with furniture my sis made, for my gijoes... i used to pick one different joe every night to put in that shoebox bedroom. lol.

That's so cool.

I put my G.I.joes and Star wars figures into that Big Darth Vader Head thing that held like 36 figures. and my transformers had their own collector box. Both fit on a shelf I had alongside my brothers legos, and our Intellivision and nintendo.

It was always changing. At one time this is what my Joes were in:


That sticker outline is from the Autobot Jazz that I got from a cereal mail-in. Also note that I tried to "arm" the thing with a missile on the side. (drawing)

This became accessory storage as the number of figures grew....

I still have it, but now use it for storing papers and such...
