Illuminatus Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Has anybody else had their Bohrok-Kal canisters and instructions suffer severe fading from UV exposure over the years? Back in the day I used to display some of my canisters on shelves where the sunlight would hit them directly for years on end; thankfully this is something I stopped doing after a certain point, but unfortunately some damage has already been done, specifically to my Bohrok-Kal canisters. Curiously enough, my Bohrok canisters were displayed right next to my Bohrok-Kal canisters and their labels look as well as they did on the day they were purchased, whereas the damage on the Bohrok-Kal is so severe that even the instructions inside them have faded around the edges where the labels hadn't covered them, and Kohrak-Kal's lid in particular has begun to deteriorate and smell like old/burned plastic. Has anybody else had this happen to them? I'm curious whether US releases may have been of better quality than the European ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master of Energy Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 This doesn't happen to me, mainly because all sets I have are stored in my room. I rarely open the windows, and the cans/boxes/bags are in the closet or under the bed.

Sir Keksalot Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 The title made me think this was gonna be about Lehvak-Kal getting exposed to radiation after being shot into space... 6 Quote Rule #1: Always listen to Kek.

Honestly if you told me that one of the Kal's powers was "UV Damage," I'd probably believe you. Not much weirder than "vacuum." 1 Quote [bloog] [brickshelf] [This used to be my library but the link is broken] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightBeAlon Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Most of the Bohrok canisters I've had have faded stickers on the back, but the actual sets themselves remain relatively unscathed. All my canisters are in the loft at home, but I think it's just the 2003 canister sets which suffered this.My OG Bohrok don't appear to have suffered too much from this, though the 01 Toa sets get bleached pretty easily too. Not too sure on the smell thing though... 1 Quote ~Alon. Or is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesy Mac n Cheese Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Different years have differences in terms of plastic quality. Remember 2007’s lime green pieces? Well, maybe 2003 canisters are more photodegradable than usual. Quote My friend went to Po-Wahi and all I got was this lousy rock.

Master Inika Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 More than anything else, congrats on having 2003 canisters! I wish I'd saved all the ones I had. 1 Quote "You are an absolute in these uncertain times. Your past is forgotten, and your future is an empty book.
