thanks... already pm... you guys been a great help

just want to share with u guys... my dad was a chemist and he gave me a couple of books about polymers a few years back (so what the hell does this gotta do with die cast collecting?... wait wait) so there is one chapter that talks about polymer degredation.. so it seems that polymer goes to certain changes from one time to the other.. this changes is called ageing. so ive heard a lot of diecasters have problem with thier tires melting..(see science does have something good in it right?).. since that rubber (or synthetics) degrade what you can do is is to dellay the process by making sure that the polymers are not in contact of three things which are HEAT, LIGHT and CHEMICALS..

the melting tires are called depolymerisation which means that the structural composition of the tyre itself is breaking where the protien seept through the chemical bond making the tire lose their elasticity
(plese correct me if im wrong.. im no chemist..)

bummer right?

( one more thing... there are shoes with POLYURETHANE sole.. if you buy this SH&T be ready to wear them all the time sinse that PU tend to age fast whe not worn...when PU age it is spectacular... it breaks down like sponge cake... there are PU soles with new chemical compound that stops/rememdy much of this aging... but who are we to know... off topic a bit)
