[QUOTE="tigerham, post: 511819, member: 2045"] (Really careless of me) So... I was attempting to open up my display unit with all the MOC's still in the unit (in their GW acrylic cases). Previously I've opened it knowing well that they wobble when opening the unit door. This time was unforgiving. It jolted and as it did the top MOC wobbled and at the same time the one below wobbled and both at the same time dropped from a height and smashed on the floor. The bottom one, because of dropping from a lower height just smashed the corner of the GW acrylic case (solid things). It contained my Tri-logo Pop-Up R2 MOC. It was safe fortunately. Unfortunately the same could not be said for the one above. It was a hard to find piece that a friend on here so kindly let go of to me knowing I was in need of it for my collection. It was a Palitoy ROTJ 45bk R2 Sensorscope which I had been searching for a while. The case smashed to pieces and all I could see was the MOC face down. I turned over the MOC only to find the bubble empty. My face dropped like a bomb! Across the room was the R2 laying on it's back. I managed to carefully force it back in the bubble (and luckily it was a force otherwise it would easily slip out and the bubble). The bubble was all their apart from one very small piece. It still displays well (thankfully) but I humbly apologise to not only my friend but to the hobby. Absolute carelessness and lesson learnt fast.
