Thanks for the warm welcome!

Except for the big boys and sharp ones whose transport is hazardous like Soul Of Chogokin, I usually drop the boxes and just keep the toys. I took the pic at our hotel before unboxing everyone, putting figs in my socks to avoid scratcing the paint job. Also, my figures are always intended for display, so I have little to no use of the cardboxes.

In France, you have what's on TV, wich means we now have Iron Man 3, Clone Wars, Spider Man and the new Ninja Turtles. But we don't have much GI Joes, and Mattel never bothered to sell the MOTU or the Inifinite Crisis here.
But the biggest flaw in France is that prices are twice US's. I bought myself a Donatello for 8.99$ in K-Mart, and I witnessed him in a french ToysRus for 17.99 Euros (=20$!!). Same with the basic 3-3/4 figs (Spidey, Star Wars, Avengers, Joes) they never drop below 12-15 euros (15-20$) except when Amazon.fr launches a sale. As a friend always says: when you go to the US, you understand how we get price-raped in France.
