Why does it have to be actuall Amiga boxes? Surely a suitably sized plain cardboard box will do the job?

Maybe you could get scans of the original artwork and laminate them onto some plain boxes. This would be much cheaper.

AND I STILL SAY "USE PLAIN CARDBOARD BOXES!" You should be able to find ones which are the right size, "AND BUY SOME SYROFOAM SQUARES AND CUT CHUNKS OUT!".

PROBLEM SOLVED!

Sorry I had to shout, but it seemed like you were not listening to me

Why does it have to be original boxes anyway, the Amiga boxes were always ugly, flimsy things. Seen the box on the "magic pack"? Or the graphics on my A500 box? Puke inducing!

Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to my "Man Room" (which until now was known as "the Studio"). That was the second best suggestion here, but obviously won't work in a small apartment.

Can't find boxes which are EXACTLY the right size? No problem.

USE A BIGGER BOX! you could store several amigas in one.

Cut styrofoam to size to stop them from moving about and getting damaged.

I had to do this recently in order to transport my collection.
