I got it on eBay. I personally wouldn't recommend it for Beastfomers , they didn't breathe right in there but here's the link.I don't use mine anymore for the beastformers.

Nice updates - what do you mean the beastformers didn't breathe right in the case? I wouldn't mind some steps.

[108KickBack]

I'm not sure if it was the reaction of the two plastics(the steps and the Laser Beasts feet) together or if the the Plastic couldn't breathe properly but after i took them out 90% of them had sticky feet!Which concerned me a lot since this is the one toy line i treasure very highly and have put alot of money into.

 

And by breathing i mean lot of toys need air once it a while or they can become brittle, sticky,hard Ect. It all depends on the toy and material used in the toy.There is only two holes on each side the size of a pin hole which ain't enough in my opinion and experience with it.

yeah, the last few boxed LBs I got in from Japan all had that slightly sticky feel to them, and a bit of a musty odor so my assumption was that they had been stored in a sealed container somewhere, probably in a basement. I was pretty put off at first, especially since one was sealed so I was expecting absolute mint, but I noticed that after having them out and displaying them for about a week the stickiness and smell went away. I wish I knew more about the chemistry behind this.

 

Too bad cause that's a pretty cool little tiered display box; maybe use a drill and add some more breathing holes to the back or something?

Ive seen that a lot with Vintage Star Wars figures coming out of storage having sticky limbs and even being wet?

Its always good to let figgies breath

the worst case I'd seen so far was on my Metlar Inhumanoids figure I sold last year. The head is made of more rubbery material than the plastic body and was absolutely covered in stickiness; wouldn't go away no matter how much I cleaned it. The weird thing about that is he was stored in the same type of containers and in the same location as my other toys and very few others had this issue. 

 

you're right though I for sure used to see this on SW figs back when I was collecting those in my youth.

Star Wars figures can even get like a white almost crystaly substance on them it's very odd.

[Skullcruncher]

Ah right, yeah some of my transformer pvc decoys had sticky feet - it was only the ones I had displayed on a an acrylic riser, the rest on a wooden shelf were fine. 

 

Its only a matter of time for the plastic on my mosc items simply falls off. Same with all of the mosc battle beast pairs I guess.

you said they get sticky feet from being inside the case. to prevent this from happening try putting inside a small amount of water. here in hong kong they usually put a shooter glass inside cases with water inside to keep the air fresh
