I store all of my puzzles in these two 32 litre tubs. There's literally no more room left in them, so I'll have to get another tub if I want to carry on buying puzzles.
You can also see next to the tubs, two Ferrero Rocher boxes and a vacuum bag. In the two FR boxes I keep the instruction booklets for my puzzles, sets of stickers, puzzle store business cards, puzzles to be assembled, and other puzzle related bits and bobs, in the vacuum bag I keep all the packaging for my puzzles.

Scrambled Rare Auldey Q-Borg Molecule / Atom 2x2
Very stiff to turn out of the box, feels as though the tension is too tight. Now that it's broken in it's a bit better but still pretty stiff. It's still a very fun puzzle though, and looks very cool too imo.

Before using the hair dryer
As you can see the stickers are smooth, but they don't adhere to the Shapeways plastic that well, that's why I will use the hair dryer
After using the hair dryer
As you can see the stickers are now textured, I think they suit the puzzle a lot better looking like this, and give the puzzle a more finished look imo

Scrambled Guojia Square 1
This has a weird colour scheme. A lot of people don't like different colour schemes, but I like them, it's something new and different.
Has a rail system like the mf8 Square 1 v1...
It turns quite nicely.

I don't know what the brand of this is. Stickers started peeling very quickly, and the cube is stiff to turn as well so you can't do finger tricks with it.
It's also very simple and straight forward to solve.

Scrambled YJ Eight Pointed Star
Very simple to solve if you have the flat faces as the top and bottom faces. Orientate it differently though so the pointed faces are at the top and bottom and it's a bit more of a challenge. Puzzle turns great. You also never need to put the corners into the first layer because as soon as you've made the cross they're already there.

Scrambled Mozhi Pyramid / Half Star
Fun 3x3 shape mod. At first this was unbelievably stiff and would sometimes not even turn, I couldn't adjust the tension because there are no screws, just rivets. So I just broke it in and lubed it and surprisingly it turns way better now, and I can even do finger tricks on it a lot of the time.

Really cool interesting looking puzzle. This puzzle seems to be really rare, I think when I was searching for it on the Internet the only place I could find it was at Championscubestore, apart from Petethegeek's video and my video of this puzzle, there doesn't seem to be any infomation about it anywhere else online.
Doesn't turn that great though.

Scrambled Multi coloured Cube4You 3x3x5
I'm sure the people at Dinodirect where I bought it from, or the people at Cube4You made this out of several coloured 3x3x5 DIY kits, so for example this would've been made from a pink 3x3x5 DIY kit, a blue 3x3x5 DIY kit, and a yellow 3x3x5 DIY kit.
This cube turns really fast and smooth and has a nice swishy sound to it, it corner cuts really well as wel...l.
The solve is more easier than the regular 3x3x5, but you do get a couple of parity's that you don't get on the regular one, one of them is the Fisher cube parity where you can't make the cross on the last layer.

Other solved state of the Multi coloured Cube4You 3x3x5
I guess this has two solve states, the one that you see in the picture, and one where the yellow layers are together and the pink layers are together, so for example from top to bottom the layers would be yellow, yellow, blue, pink, pink. You can see it's other solved state in my Twisty / Slidy puzzle collection album

Scrambled QJ Heart To Heart
Very easy to solve, but fun if you want to mess around with something for a couple of minutes. Some of these fall apart straight away, and some of them don't, but they can be easily fixed with some super glue and will always work fine from then on.

Scrambled Mozhi Heart Linked Lock / X Cube
Very cheap quality, but a very cool puzzle at the same time, it's basically a 3x3 shape mod, and out of all of my 3x3 shape mods I find this to be the hardest.
Unfortunatley because of some of the stickers overhanging, they will catch each other when turning the puzzle which causes peeling.
Unboxing: https://www.youtube.com/
Scrambled Cube4You 3x3x6
Cool puzzle which is difficult to scramble because of it's extra bandaging. The extra bandaging also makes the solve completely differen't from how you would think it'd be as well.

Scrambled Shengshou God Of Freedom Super/Crazy 2x2x4
Two pieces fell off this a couple of minutes into playing with it, but I super glued them back into place and now the puzzle is fine. The circle bits are really hard to turn but I'm hoping they'll get better with some breaking in and lube. It's surprisingly very easy to solve. This puzzle has some cool shape shifting.

How I keep my twisty puzzle boxes
I just keep them flat packed in these A4 sized plastic wallets. There's probably around 80 boxes in total and they barely take up any room at all. Any hard plastic packaging I'll just throw away since you can't store it flat whch means it'd just take up too much room.
The reason why I like to keep them is because I just really like the designs/art on a lot of them, and it's nice knowing you have the original boxes for your puzzles, and, and if I ever wanted to sell a puzzle I'd probably get more money for it if it's with the box.
The Super Dipyramid disassembled
I got frutrated with it when it got stuck so I forced it, which was stupid because it caused it to pop. Because the cube was scrambled I wasn't sure which way around I needed to put the two pieces back in, so I had to completely disassemble it and put it back together in it's solved state. While it was apart I thought I may as well take a photo so you can see what it looks like.

1992 Fun Turns Diet Coke Sliding Tile Puzzle Can
You may notice in the picture that it's not 100% solved, as some of the tiles that have just diagonal lines on them aren't matching each other.
Great puzzle, but the squares are quite hard to move when moving them vertically, when moving them either to the left or right you have to move the whole ring.

Scrambled mf8 Black & White Column
I got stickers with this, but I haven't stickered it as I'd like to solve it the way it is, and to be honest because of the fact that it's in black & white means it just doesn't look right when stickered IMO.
I guess this has two solve states, one where one half is black and the other white, and a checker board pattern....
Solving it so one half is black and one half is white is disappointingly easy, but I'm finding it very hard to solve it into a checker board pattern up to now.
The turning isn't that great. But I think it's a very cool looking puzzle.

Scrambled QJ 2 Layer Super Square 1
Unfortunately this has a design flaw, the edges should be exactly half the size ot the corners, but they aren't, instead the edges are too small and the corners are too big, which means when you get a lot of edges or corners on one side, the edges are really loose and there's big spaces between them, and the corners are really tightly packed together which makes it hard to turn and it pushes the puzzle apart, it feels as though the puzzle could break or fall apart when this happens.
