Got a question for all of you.

I've got plenty of second hand transformers coming my way through the posts (decided to complete Orthia and some other combiners). So, with the Covid-19, what are you're suggestion regarding quarantine and/or how to properly disinfect the toys?

What I've heard so far suggests that the virus might be able to last around three days on a plastic surface and not as long on cardboard. If you're wary about using a disinfectant wipe on your purchase you'd probably be okay letting it sit for a few days before touching it. That's what I've been doing.

I realized something about my worries for contamination, that is, I shouldn't worry. Most packages will take a couple of days, if not weeks to reach me and by then, any trace of the virus inside of the package won't be alive. I'll still clean my hands for handling the package tho.
