Stupid hobby! I should seriously just throw them all in an old potato sack.

You could always just order two sizes, if you don't mind putting all your stuff in bags that are loose. I only got several sizes because of my compulsive tendencies, and how pro it looks when all your stuff is in crystal clear bags that are just the right size. I can almost appreciate them as much in the baggy as out. Almost.

That would depend on the bags, the toy plastics, and the paints involved, so there is no rule as the reaction kinetics will vary. I would imagine it's always at least multiple years, though, and I myself wouldn't hesitate to put my toys in zip-locs if I suddenly had to pack up and move and had no PP baggies left.
The key words here are
long-term storage; if you don't have set plans to take them back out of the bags anytime soon, best to invest in PP. Yeah they're more expensive than zip-locs and transferring them into new bags could take a day or more depending on your collection, but I'm sure we all care more about our toys than we do our sandwiches, so why treat them like sandwiches.
