You cannot put some lighthouses back in the styrofoam because trees and other items were assembled after removing from the styrofoam.
I hate to say it but I don't recall having to assemble any of the HL's I purchased via my autoship. I must admit that some of them can be a pain to repack when you remove certain pieces of the sponge/foam type material used to protect trees, flag poles, etc. from breakage in shipment.

I'm in favor of keeping the styrofoam molds. They are your best protection if you need to return your HL to its original box for storage or shipment. The new pieces of today have some parts that really need the protection of their original styrofoam packing. Bubble wrap and styrofoam peanuts aren't the same as the original styrofoam mold.
