[QUOTE="subzero, post: 494975, member: 9185"] I never had any Star Wars toys to open :( that was my older brother's thing and I was too young and into other stuff, I do have very clear memories of what we did at xmas though. Me and my 3 brothers every year would all have our presents stacked up inside large black bin liners, my mom would stand up the bags on different chairs and places in the living room for us all to see when we woke up xmas morning. Not one single thought from any of us went into wanting to keep boxes for any single toy ( accept if it was a board game box to keep everything in there for storage ), every toy that got opened was ripped and torn, no cutting through selotape/seals with knives or scissors, we'd just tear the box to **** around the seals to get them open, we didn't see them as 'boxes' it was just packaging in our eyes the same as opening a packet of crisps. And once all the opening was over ( I remember there was a bloody lot of packing leftover from 4 of us ), we'd all get the black bin liners and tear, scrunch up and **** every single bit of packaging into the bags ready to chuck out, leaving us with a load of loose toys. I can still visualise the mountain of packaging on the floor ready to bag up, so bad that we'd have to double check through it all just in case we left in an accessory or instruction leaflet amongst it, there was probably many hundreds of £'s worth of boxes in today's value, just shocking, but how were we to know?, so in that way I forgive myself. :) It's weird though how I still remember a lot of what the boxes looked like back then on xmas morning for toys I had, even though I didn't give them a second thought and torn them to pieces after having it for 5 seconds.
