How do store your spring loaded missiles?

[GDkitty]

I usualy leave them in.. unless i find one that has a hair trigger or something..

My Universe 2.0 dinobot.. for some reason fires all on its own randomly... the shelf its on is to the right of where my computer is.. TWICE i have been pinged off in the head randomly while sititng there :P

Speaking of Dinobot, I damaged his spring loaded missile/sword tail thing already. I stored the missile/sword in his tail while in Dino mode, it fired. Now, it's been "mute" ever since.

i just keep em all in a bag easiest way. but, if you have a large collection then dam it's gonna be hard to identify which missile goes to which bot.

I keep them armed when on dislpay, bagged and tagged when in storage. Never thought about spring dmg tho. Perhaps I must change my ways.

I keep them all in a large box and I have parts recognition pics on my computer for the ones that are really difficult to tell apart

Personally unless it's crucial to the figure to have their missiles displayed with them, I usually keep my weapons in individual poly bags that are labled with who they belong to.

I know that seems pretty anal, but after 13 years of collecting from various lines and throwing everything into a large bin, I learned my lesson. It made life miserable whenever I tried to find something to sell. It took me at least a week to sort everything out when I finally got around to it.

I usually toss'em in a bin under my bed. along with extra accessories and instructions. good luck sorting thru them lolzzz!!

Unless the spring is deformed beyond its elastic limit, storing the missiles loaded will have no detrimental effects on the spring. And if loading the missile deforms the spring beyond its elastic limit, it wouldn't really work in the first place, as it would fire with less energy than it took to load the missile, and less energy every time you fired it.

I keep them loaded and ready to fire. If they ever come to life like in Toy Story or Small Soliders I want to make sure all to have a fighting chance.

Also, I hate the gimmick, so if I kill the spring it is really no big deal.
