So what do you all do with your empty classified boxes and retro card backs? Also, how do you store the accessories that you don't have on your displayed figures? I currently display my figures in front of the empty box but I am running out of room. What do you all do?

I'm probably in the minority on this but mine go straight into the recycle bin. I don't keep boxes or card backs for anything.
If the accessories can't all be stored on the figure, I put them in ziploc bags and keep them in one of those plastic 3 drawer carts along with my other action figure line's miscellaneous pieces/parts etc..

I'm at the point where I need to figure something else out, too. I currently store the complete boxes, but it's getting excessive and the line is only getting bigger. Thinking about flattening the boxes and storing them with the Retro cards, but I need to get past the mindset that I'll need the inserts/trays.

I cut the retro file cards out and use them on a plastic easel stand behind the figure. I have a ton of the boxes (non window ones) that are piling up.

I also had the idea of flattening the boxes. I may use a small tackle box or storage box used for nails and screws for the accessories. I could label each little drawer with the figures name

If I save the display boxes, I flatten the boxes carefully by folding them till flat and toss the plastic trays.
If I want to save the Cardbacks, I blow dry the glue off and toss the plastics.

I dont keep any cardboard unless it hasnt been opened which would be maybe 20 things that i own havent been opened .. otherwise in the trash they go its very freeing throwing away all that trash . It takes up less space to open them and display them than it does to hang them on the wall or hold onto them ,i know i used to buy 2 and open 1 . Now its open 95% of what i buy ..
Anyway this is what i use but im pretty organized ? And am sick of baggies etc bigger ones for more than 10 and the smaller for 9-10 they work really well and are stackable .

I haven't kept a single retro card or classified box because I don't need them. I still have all of my 25th and later file cards. I do wish that the retro file cards were complete, and not multilingual. Having said that I do get why Hasbro did multilingual file cards, but still they feel like a waste with not enough info about the character. Hopefully someday we'll get a book of dossiers from Larry Hama and image/skybound comics.
