Herein lies your biggest advantage. Newer toys are more robust than older ones. I personally don't think it's necessary to transform them into alt mode; maybe half transform some if they have any delicate parts. But I think just keeping them in robot mode is fine. Put them in a "standing at attention" pose and put them in individual zip lock bags with their accessories (so you remember what belongs to whom later). Definitely remove all accessories/weapons to avoid accidental post breakages.Originally Posted by Flukey
Other things to your advantage:
- Worse case scenario, any toy that gets broken would be easier/cheaper to replace (compared to a vintage figure; and childhood toys are outright irreplaceable).
- I mean this purely in a positive way, but "only" 200 figures. I had about 200 figures when I went to live in Japan in 1997 and my entire collection fit into two boxes. Granted a lot of TFs are bigger these days, so you may need maybe 3 boxes tops. The last time I moved (6 years ago) I had about 1965 TFs and it was a female-dog to pack and move. There are advantages in having a smaller collection, and this is definitely one of them!
