What?! WHAT?!
I can't cope with all these sudden yellow revelations! Yellowing is the one huge fear I have about toy collecting. I have nightmares about it and my office room, the only room with toys WANTONLY on display IN THE OPEN, has the curtains permanently SHUT.

Have I now got to open Sky Linx just to see what colour he is?! He will be both yellow and white until you look. You need to open his box to collapse the quantum possibilities. -Ralph |

This thread is frightening me. I don't want to be here anymore.
I see yellow everywhere.
I think the solution is to buy only bumblebee toys from now on.

If the mighty Sky Lynx has succumbed to the yellowing of lesser Transformers, then surely there is no hope for anyone in the universe at all.

I had no idea this was so widespread. Is this happening to anyone else? Or is Ralph dipping his fingers in butter before playing with his toys?

I see yellow everywhere now. Though thankfully not found the deeper nicotine-stain yellow on anything other than Selects G2 Ramjet and SG Starscream.

Did some clearing up yesterday and took the opportunity to check on a few known culprits - no yellowing yet! (including MP Prowl, who my daughter rescued from my "to sell" pile)

Bah. Saw some images of SS86 Jazz online showing yellowing and checked mine. Yep. Usual points, most noticeably the white shoulder pieces that are hidden in robot mode. Transform to car mode and bam, the wheel arches on the front are cream squares in a white bonnet.
How long did we wait for a decent Jazz, then we get one that can't display in car mode. I must check SG Starscream again.

I suspect the joints on Cyclonus are not quite the colour they should be either. I was about to get the Selects one to go with toy colours Galvatron. Is that just wasting £40 though?
Sort this out Hasbro!

Pulse are still selling SG Starscream. I wonder how much of their stock is already yellowed. |
