When you buy a vehicle just for a certain figure, or a figure just for a certain part and KNOW that you will NEVER EVER use it for anything... What do you do with it? Sometimes i hang onto stuff, sometimes I throw it out immediately.
Example: I just picked up a 2nd Volcano Viper with Mole/Lava Pod for a friend of mine. I know he just wants the figure. The first time I threw the pod in the garbage when I got home. Today instead, I stopped as soon as I got outside of Ross. Opened everything, threw out the packaging, and put the projectile in the nose of the lava pod. I then left it perched on top of the trash can in front of the store. I figure some little kid probably took it 5 minutes after I walked away. Or will shoot himself in the eye. Could go either way. |

I take out the figure and leave the vehicle in the package and donate it. That way I know a kid will play with it.

That seems like such a waste, other than passing it on to children. Why not try to break em up for parts or use em as battle damaged flotsom in a diorama or shoot it with a .22 rifle.
It would seem ANYTHING would be better than just throwing it away in my opinion. |

But yeah I don't think I'll throw anything out again. I just moved, have a few vehicles I just don't want. If I can keep from looking like some kind of chomo, I'm going to just give them to the kids in my apartment complex. |

I bought the Adventure Team Joe Club sets, and just wanted the carded figures, so I have the vehicles sitting around until I list them.
