Video reviews and packaging

I generally save the packaging for all items I intend to review, both video and otherwise. I'm a bit anal about it really. Even if the product comes in a cheap plastic box, I save it until the review is over. This is mainly because I usually mention the packaging in my reviews, & I don't actually examine the packaging until I'm writing my reviews. Lol. After I've written the review, I generally toss the toy's original container, unless it's an excellent means of storage.

I'm pretty much the same way, although my fiance managed to lose one or two here and there so now I have to skimp on that part, but that packaging wasn't all that great to begin with, so nobody's really missing much of anything, lol

I store my stuff in the original packaging anyway for the most part. I honestly don't care enough to go out of my way to store it that way though. If it's not in the package, it doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Depends on the packaging. If it's minimal, like a cardboard box or something, I'll say a word or two but not actually show it if I've already recycled it.

If I'm posting pictures on an offsite review, I save the packaging at least long enough to take pictures.
For video reviews, it depends. Sometimes I include the packaging and sometimes I don't - since I don't always use the packaging in the video.
It really depends on the packaging if I keep it to store the toy in or not.

Sammi's explanation is the same as mine. Sometimes I don't include packaging pictures if it's really simple (e.g. clear plastic bag), unattractive (e.g. gawdy pictures on a box), or not designed for permanent storage (e.g. giant boxes, hard-to-open containers).

Although Im yet to do a video review, I tend to keep things stored in their packaging, as long as it is up to it that is.
Plain, cheap clear plastic packaging always hits the bin, but if the packaging is pretty or functional I do tend to keep it.
With my ohmibod, even though it comes with a cute drawstring bag for storage I do tend to keep that toy in its original box for some reason.

I did that with my bsoft too, but once I started running out of room for all the toys in their boxes so I had to get rid of a few boxes, lol

I rarely keep packaging unless it's exceptional. I have way too much crap to have boxes all over the house. If I think a review will be a lot better by showing the packaging or there are no on site pictures of it, I may save long enough to do video or pics but... it's rare, since EF takes such thorough pictures.

I'll only save the packaging if I intend to do a video review and the packaging is interesting or notable in some way.
07/31/2010
Some viewers may like to know what the package looks like though, if it's discreet, etc., so I may prop it next to the product. If it's nice, such as an Evolved Novelties case, then I would show it.

I often show the packaging in the videos, I think there has been a few times when I haven't. I don't know why, I guess just because I personally like to see the packaging and how easy it is to open and store the item in.
I usually will keep at least the plastic inner part even after the video though, but I don't always keep the outer packaging unless I really like it for some reason.

It would depend on the package. I've kept the packages for the doubles, but most Tantus products (for instance) don't have a very interesting package.

I tend to keep packages long enough to take a picture of them for off-site reviews. Often I take the pictures right when I get the toy then throw it out. In terms of the vid. review, I don't think packaging is a big deal here so I'll only included the packaging if it is note worthy in some way, mainly if it good enough that that is what I storing the toy in.

I don't do video reviews (too chicken ) but I ALWAYS keep the packaging until I have written the product review.
But if the packaging is of a decent size and is classy then I keep it to store that particular toy.
I LOVE Lelo internal boxes!!!! Very classy and discreet. Plus they don't take up that much more room than the toy itself.

Don't spend too much time on it, there's more important things to talk about in the limited time of a video review.

it's important to me to show folks what they're getting... all of it.

I store most of my stuff in the original packages, especially when they are convenient shapes.
11/04/2011
I'm going to end up stuffing the product back into the packaging if I still have it.
12/19/2011
I don't have enough room to store toys in their packages, so those get thrown away as soon as I get the toy.

only if it's useful

It depends on the product. If it is a product that has little to no packaging, or packaging that isn't informative whatsoever (ex: clear plastic) then I trash it. I hate saving boxes.

It depends. SOmetimes I am so excited to get my items into my own "cubby" or storage that I will shove them into where they go and toss the packaging. If it has a really nice packaging or something that can be reused for storage, then I will save it. Often times though I will toss it.

I forget that I will need it for a video review. Sometimes though I will take photos right when I get it, of the packaging and the item in it, then I will toss it. It all depends on the item though.

okay so now packages are gone unless they are really nice (eg. made of wood or leather or like lelo boxes). my videos are usually done within a week of receiving the toys .
