[QUOTE="OTB Records, post: 336422, member: 6162"] As far as I'm aware those MoC figures have been stored for many years (probably since first delivered) in manufacturer's outer boxes. Therefore they have been stored in the dark and probably in a relatively good environment when it comes to temperature etc. So all-in-all pretty good if not perfect storage conditions. As can be seen a good number have yellowed badly whilst some have remained very clear. Given they have all been stored in the same way for probably the last 30 years then I think this definitely shows that the chemical make up of the plastic used is critical when it comes to how quickly and badly bubbles yellow. Going back to my original question, what do people think the chances of those that are still clear are when it comes to going yellow? If they have remained clear for 30+/- years why should they suddenly go yellow if stored correctly. What do you think? :) [/QUOTE]
