[QUOTE="Bespin_Doyle, post: 16761, member: 84"] Know that one. My AT-AT went to a boot sale. Went for 10 quid in 1986 (hence my signature). Needed the cash for Transformers, Action Force or some other fad. Think I was just lucky there wasn't too much overall staining. Its irreversible, a natural process in the plastic under direct sunlight or the right temperature, it just breaks down. Normally starts where two panels of plastic meet or have been fused in the factory. Basicly if you fill the bath up with warm soapy water and dunk the two (upper and under) plastic panels in, let them soak for 5 mins. The vintage stickers can take the abuse. Then get a old toothbrush on the really dirty parts. But avoid scrubbing the stickers. You'll find that most of the yellowing is just surface dirt and grease. [/QUOTE]
