What do you do with you boxes!

What creative thing does everyone do with their diecast storage boxes? Like mentioned in my previous not, i store them in my old kitchen cabinets in my basement. Doesn't take long to fill those up though. And my collecion is relatively small.

We could do Ivan Love a favor.....

and store them in his aztec. That will keep it off the road from our viewing displeasure.

I store them in the guest bedroom closet, about 150 of them. DM, GMP, & WCPD boxes aren't too bad, but those FM boxes sure take up a lot of space!!
