I do dust mine, just the loose figures which is quite a few but not the ones' in boxes except if I were to move to a new place...I only dust them every 3-6 months or so besides it makes them look better to me when there isn't 3 inches of dust and cobwebs on each figure and when fellow TF fans come over they are even more impressed with my collection.

:P

I just pulled out a TON of the newer boxes out of the closet and they are heading for the recycling pile by the end of today, they just are not made to be kept,collected or stay together after they are opened as there is too much of that clear plastic in them...it makes it great to see what you are buying but they are pretty much worthless after they are opened.

oh!

i know!

i spend thousands of man hours compiling information about transformers

for my personal use only

creating charts
graphs
lists
profiles

just to rename every transformer i get into a replacement for the Generation 1 bots that should have been mine and should have been this cool.

was that clear?

soooo tired. =P~
