For me, I collected MOC mainly as a hoarding trait. I started feeling claustrophobic, though, and realized I got much more satisfaction from removing the toys from the packaging. I love the artwork on the boxes but with the web, I can just google the images of the packaging. Now I try to keep package hoarding to a minimum. I keep some that look especially nice, but I can honestly count it on one hand now. I've got a ridiculous amount of G1 Transformers packaging though that I have to either give away or throw out. The only ones I'd consider keeping are probably the ones that came with my G1 Jetfires. I also have a giant collection of the G1 book reissues that came with a Japanese booklet. The boxes were fold out window boxes. There was a collectible nature to them. I have to say that out of all my collectibles, the Transformers are the dumbest ones to keep sealed. The very nature of the figure is to transform them so I feel logically compelled to unpackage those more than anything else.
