dbartman wrote:Very nice!Also agree with stratochamp. I learned my lesson early on with stacking boxed sets. Even those that are in SW can be affected by the weight.But, in some cases this might not work if the space won't accommodate the boxes in either of the two vertical orientations. If that is the case, I would advise to bag the set, making sure that the bag is really tight to the box, and use a couple of stiff pieces of cardboard or backing boards, between the boxes. Keeping the bag tight keeps the box sides from bowing out. I've been doing this for years and it works okay. I wouldn't stack them too high though, especially with less sturdy boxed sets.As stratochamp mentioned, the boxes should be of similar sizes too. Usually best to put the heavier boxes on the bottom as well.
