  1. Blasted Effing Blast Effects are Eating My Transformers!

    Overlord had the same problem? And I did take out my box of Blast Effects that have been in a cardboard box for a year, no picture as it just looks like I said, a bunch of blast effects thrown into a small cardboard box. No separation or the like. And they're all fine. No paper or anything...

    There are Botbots in the picture, so this is on topic! Really! And for those who don't get it, it's a movie reference, look it up, and get off my lawn.

    Thank you! And honestly, couldn't hurt, I was one of the worst offenders on that, as I've had a LOT of issues with the melting rubber...I was going to do it myself but I wasn't sure if it would mess anything up.

    Some re-posts from the old board in honor of the announcement that Murder Hornets have been eradicated in the US. And we know who we can thank for that... And who we can't. At least our bee hives are safe now.

    On that note, here is Star Saber and Friends, plus the sword from Fortress Maximus. The odd arrangemnet is actually a bit of a test for Omega Prime, I am looking at taking that shelf and using it for Omega as he's rather tall. I figure if there's clearance for DeathSaurus, it should just about...

    And Wheelie will be the descendant of Megatronus. It's the rhymes that make it clear. "Me and the Fallen? That's stupid and dumb. Go somewhere else, just stick out your thumb..." "Survival is all, that's what you do. As have I, I thought you knew." "Son of a-" -From 'Wheelie vs. The...

    We may want to spin off the 'plastic ate my toys!' stuff, we don't want to turn it into TFW. For all the issues I have with their often inappropriately hostile posters, they actually have a thread in their toy forum called 'PSA: New toy plastic condition discovered (melted soft rubbery parts)'...

    That didn't stop the DC people from getting a Parralax figure. Several versions, actually. And Krimzeek for us a couple times at least, though in his case he did have a clearly defined appearance.

    Yes, sorry, I didn't mean to cause a panic. I was referring to just that, the evaporation of the chemicals as the plasticizer leeches out. This is why a toy on an open shelf will often age better than one 'MISB' when it comes to these reactions. And anything porous works fine, I keep mine in...

    There's nothing wrong with using them, you just don't want to LEAVE them for a long period. For a picture or something they work great. The paper trick does work, though. For safety's sake I'd wrap them and put the in a drawer or something where they can just do their plastic off-gassing...

    What really happened is this is the edited version Swindle sold Hasbro when the Transformers found Earth and he got involved in merchandising (do you REALLY think a war lasted FOUR MILLION years without degenerating into a mass-marketed scripted pseudo-sport?). The REAL story was even MORE...

    It's not just blast effects that are a problem, any soft plastic MAY do the same thing to hard plastic it's near, especially if that plastic is painted, for some reason. The soft fins on Combiner Wars airplanes of all sorts (and POTP ones too like the Decepticon Powermasters) can do it. One of...

    No problems with mine, but I did add a small amount of red paint on the wings, as the stickers just didn't hold up. It's just Gundam Marker so it comes off with alcohol if I needed to. hardest part was masking it. I also added the guns and sword blade from the DNA kit, the rest was left...

    Is the clear Starscream that fragile? If I still had my Ghostbusters (lost to last years various emergencies) I'd have ordered that set in a heartbeat!

    Sorry, no jokes on this one, except maybe on me as I never expected anyone would want to see the Safari Ltd Armored T-Rex and Triceratops I added to the Dinoforce set in better lighting. I don't have a light box, but I tried it with a white floor-mirrored shelf and an LED stick light. These...
