    my vroom-vroom goes real fast, and you'd be wise to remember that.

    Who would buy a car from Saturn? Everyone knows that the best cars are made on Cybertron.

    Those Cybertronian models can be temperamental.

    No my car actually is a Saturn so it's got that shampoo bottle plastic stuff going on. Probably made by KFC or XTransbots. :D

    I'm amazed that there are still running Saturns more less ones with intact plastic.

    I'd like to claim it's because it's an amazing car but the truth is I have a company vehicle I can use after work so I got that right after I bought my Saturn. Now it only goes on vacation trips. The damn thing 16 years old with 40,000 miles on it.

    On the other hand G1 Skyfire spent 4 million years frozen in ice and he was just dandy.

    All BS aside, I just moved from MI to MO to be closer to family and all my transformers are in a locker until we get the new house. I go and check on them off and on and so far they seem fine, no chrome discolor or fade. Obviously need to be warmed up when the time come to mess around with them but it doesn't seem to be affecting them. That said, they are in their original boxes and inserts so that may help some to insulate and it's dry as a bone in there. I'm sure 10 days in the mail box won't faze them as long as you let them warm up before you start bending them around.

    I had a fair number of items in non-climate controlled storage and in my garage, so have worried about this a bit. Thus far, nothing (including FT Dinobots like it sounds you nabbed) has had an issue, but I have definitely given the items time to warm up somewhat. As stated, the traditional action figures scare me much more than the transformers.

    Side note, the FT dinos feel cool (pun kind of intended) when they're chilled - the metal content really shines through.

    Your figures will definitely be alright. I live about an hour and a half north of Toronto in the snow belt and get some pretty extreme weather here being that I live on Georgian bay. I have had figures site in the community mailbox for a couple days in -20 something weather and they were all fine. I wouldn't worry to much about it.

    ..Unless its made by KFC, then you are fucked.

    Cuban? When it comes to rum I only drink Sailor Jerry or Cockspur. I will let the Cubans handle my cigars. ;)

    Yup, I feel the pain. Overnight low of 39F in my part of California.
