The box from my son's 2010 "The Scout" RTR set is getting a bit worn.  It's also not the best size for storage and transport to and from the grandparents' house.  Is there any reason to keep the box?  I've kept the cars he's gotten separately in their boxes, but  I'm not sure there's going to be much collector value for a basic Scout set box or that we'd ever sell it anyway.

Throw it in the attic and ask again in 75 years

The ones I found in mine got me a few hundred knocked off the new train bill

 

Normally that would be my impulse, but the attic is living space and I'm running out of storage space.

That's the same kind of box arrangement that my sons Scout set has.  It's really annoying and even when I slide the foam into the box on a flat surface I'm always feeling like I'm going to drop something out when I turn it over.
