Compared to KillingSpoon's problems at the moment this is probably pretty ridiculous but...

After re-arranging all of my collection over the past day and some, I've found my Beast Wars figures to literally be encrusted and caked in dust as they've pretty much remained untouched on their shelf for about 5 to 6 years and I feel, silly-ly?, sad for them and disappointed in myself for letting some of my favourite possessions get to such a state.

Has anyone else had a similar experience or am I alone in my stupor?
