Just done my second loft trip this week - we identified a problem with me getting onto the ladder and remedying that has made me more steady at the start of the climb. Even so it's not something I'll be doing regularly.
Grabbed ALL the loose packaging I spotted on the video. Consolidated and rearranged the existing stuff, all the Armada boxes are now together and facing the same way. Loaded FIVE Titans boxes of Japanese Legends onto the one of the shelf racks at the back of the middle. Those who've been up there will be astonished at how much floor is visible.
Oddly, for someone who has spent the last week slinging packaging, my best finds up there were cardback related. I found a box with all my BW Cardbacks, plus a gold classics Aerialbot card, 3 later Micromaster team cardbacks, from the warehouse find a decade or so back, and a Micro Transformers cardback
Happy with how this is going. I think the next step is to unbox and fling the packaging for all my GI Joe 25th

Warehouse find? You have a warehouse??

*TECHNICALLY* The loft is a warehouse. But no, At somepoint in the mid 2000s there was a Warehouse find (In Hong Kong?) of cases of the later wave Micromasters which absolutely decimated their value at the time. IIRC - blueshift or Jaymz may remember better - it was Hong Kong, there was some mild rusting on the axles and *VERY* loose bubbles on the cards, suggesting they'd seen some moisture at some point.

I don't recall the rusting, but was happy to grab MM teams I didn't have for about £15 carded.

Whilst others are unpackaging I have been packaging - more bubblewrap has entered my house this week than it has seen all year - and it has mostly been used to wrap fifty-something of 70 toys headed in the Toy-Fu direction. Apologies, 71. I found another Core class which needs to go and give joy to a new owner last night whilst looking for an elusive, pale pastel pink Cyberverse Arcee sidearm which seems to be surprisingly obscurely hidden somewhere in my home.

We've had a little pause in junking packaging so I've been taking the opportunity to organise my instructions which were a little..... scattered. Almost every time this week I thought I was done I've found some more.
Oddly I don't seem to be able to lay my hands on any of the Combiner Wars ones... I've got stuff from every series back into Beast Wars and I think I've found ONE CW instruction sheet and that was from a doubler. I could well have a stash somewhere with the toys, will have to get the CW boxes out from under the bed
