Im actually thinking of skipping the ziplocks now, might put a layer of something soft over every level of figures.

Gah... I absolutely _refuse_ to put any of my Transformers into storage. Are you sure there's no other way you can keep your toys free? :/

Don't zip lock anything G1 with stickers. You run the risk of trapping moisture in the zip lock bag and over time the stickers may attract fungal growth in the form of tiny lines that look like veins.
I keep my transformers in storage in cardboard or plastic containers with a few silica gel satchels.
Bubblewrap works well, provided that it's clean.Originally Posted by Vector Sigma 13

The silica gel sounds like a good idea!

What are these 'silica gel satchels' - are they those rectangular bags with tiny translucent beads in them?
How often do these satchels need to be replaced, if at all?

Go on ebay, you can usually pick up good quality ones made in Japan that have blue beads in them that eventually turn pink when they have become dense with moisture (although this doesn't take long as the air is saturated with moisture) for about $5-10 for 25 satchels.

Really ? Nearly all of my stored TF's are in ziplock bags...
How big are the Japan made silica gel satchels ? Most of my bags are only a bit bigger than the TF (Eg. G1 Bumblejumper). Would they fit in the ziplock bags as well ?

ive had all mine in ziplocks bags and i also pocked a hole in them with a pin for air, some of them have been stored away for a few years and i just took them all out to display and they all seem fine
