Quick Caution at TF Con

[questlyfe]

Just a quick caution to people who are at TFCon and purchasing. Maybe this is just common sense or maybe not but if you can help it try not to store your figures in the car. The heat is so bad today it will melt off the paint on some 3rd party figs. I bought a Masterpiece Krank around 10am and put it in the car and by Noon i opened it up and the black paint was slowly dripping wet. I also bought a Columpio Dinobot and his paint seems to be ok but he was stored in the trunk. It's not a huge deal to me because I can paint it back up np but for people who don't want to have to go through the trouble be careful please!

That's very thoughtful advice, Questlyfe. On a side note, is there any chance that you'll be doing any more G1 youtube reviews? I always really enjoyed them.

Ya thanx for the tip. I'm glad I put my Unicron in the trunk then.

i put my stuff in my truck, and luckily i put new tint on my car on friday so hopefully that helps the cause. when i got home my loose figures do feel warm to the touch but no damage that i see

that said, i did drive out for lunch so the toys have taken a brief cooling break in the middle of the day with the AC on

Phew! glad it didn't happen to anyone else then
