First of all.
Welcome to the Hobby Talk.
As to whether you want to keep them in the box or not is entirely up to you.
For those of us that collect the smaller scales 1:64, we like to take them out and play and display and what not with them.
The 1:18 scale is quite large and is not my expertise. I really like the muscle cars of the late 50's-present so I can understand that.
A couple of sugesstions I would like to make is get yourself an Inventory program or photo album and start early. I have found that after waiting 10+ years, it makes it difficult to take inventory.
There are many computer programs to choose from and then How you display them will be your next investment.
Do a search for Diecast displays. If you need some help I will gladly put some links down for you.
