    I honestly haven't heard of any non Transformers with the yellowing problem, anyone have any Hasbro Power Rangers with the issue? Unicron seems to be fine (I think the orange would turn dingy if it had the issue) My figures have the yellowing issue, doesn't seem to be heat or light related (Northern Oregon, many figures still boxed) Softer plastics in Siege Megatron, Netflix Soundwave (Soundwave is also the only figure I have with non-white or gray plastics discoloring), SG Starscream notably have the issue, with Megatron and Soundwave appearing almost green. I've heard Siege Jetfire's parts have the problem, but mine doesn't seem to have any identifiable yellowing and I've had him a long time and he's almost always out on display. I also haven't had any breakage, but the color looks bad.

    It's a specific type of plastic that's yellowing, which is the nylon stuff used for high-impact joints.

    Action figures like Power Rangers or Marvel Legends don't use the stuff at all. They're mostly PVC, with a few ABS parts.

    I have a feeling it could be related to the environment. All the ones you’ve mentioned I’ve had on display since purchase at release and I’ve had no issues. I’m in the uk and they’ve received a fair amount of light during their time on display. Some of jetfire is discoloured but I’m almost certain I noticed a difference in plastic colour upon first buying that

    My SG Starscream is somewhat yellowed and he’s seen sunlight maybe a handful of times, as my collection is kept in a room with all the natural light blocked out so maybe you’re into something. Most of my figs don’t have a yellowing issue.

    Then go on the BST board or wait for them to pop up on eBay once it is out.

    My GS Artfire and Cyberverse Arcee have yellowed badly in the past few months, never had yellowing issues with my figures before that.

    Huh. Weird. Maybe they just waited to take off a bunch of cancels? Stores who didn’t want as much? Interesting…

    Maybe an international seller or two that dropped, but I know on Pulse for those that got with them can not cancel unless you really push it

    Yes, those figures dropped on and off for a month or two after the order period finished. Was commented on here at the time, I recall.

    One guess was failed payments.

    yeah, but until recent it sat at about 27000, maybe a slow update?
