So what have you done with your Falcon crate?

[temponaut]

I recently moved to a larger home with enough space for me to have a dedicated display room for my collection. This means that, at long last, I'll be able to uncrate and display the MR Millennium Falcon I bought months ago.

Which brings me to a question about the enormous shipping crate in which the Falcon arrived.

Back at my old place, my wife and I were storing the crated Falcon in our living room (there was nowhere else it would fit) and using it as a table.

Now that I'll actually be able to display the Falcon, I'm wondering what to do with the box. It's wayyyy too big to cram into a closet, and we don't have a garage.

What have all y'all done with your Falcon crates? :confused

Sold it to a homeless person.

In my storage room, neatly stacked with all of my other prop boxes. It's amazing how many boxes you can put in a small space with some creative stacking.

If you like it and arent planning on selling it...

Recycle?

I wish I could stuff other boxes into it. But I kept all the styrofoam and everything that went with the original packaging.. Even the inner box and stuff.

I luckily have an attic. So I took it apart, carefully folded flat the box and brought it to the attic.. then I reassembled the whole thing in the attic.

Now my cats sleep on it.

so to answer your question.. it's become a kitty bed for me.

I have a large storage area under my back room - like a second basement... so it's in there, with the winter clothes, holiday decorations, and other boxes.

If I run out of room under there, I'll probably just recycle it as other packing supplies.

Mine sits in the corner of the guest bedroom. The wife has been very understanding to date.

Funny you should ask... I tossed all the cardboard, but kept the styrofoam crate as a cradle for a future paint job project. it is currently sitting outside in my side yard which I am finishing up with paver stones!
