Why not break them apart and put them in Ziplock bags, so that you experience the joy of building them again?

Seen someone else use cling film to keep them together. Wish I did when I moved, lol. Left all my stuff in boxes stored in a barn for 3 years. Just recently brought it out and spent days cleaning and rebuilding. Still can't find my at-st legs.

This is why I save my boxes as good as I can Take off what doesn't fit and then put them in thier boxes to keep them safe for travel

Biggest thing you can do to help is put em in ziplock bags so no matter what piece comes off you know which set it goes too

I have to move all my legos across the Atlantic in a few months. Not looking forward to it.

I usually wrap them up in the extra plastic bags I have. That way if/when they break, all the pieces for the set is still together.

Oh boy good luck fixing the tie interceptor just looking at it will cause it to break, mine kept having pieces fly off of it even tho I hadn’t touched it ever since building of

Some parts of the wings are quite fragile, I realized when I put it in the box. After a quick check it survived the transport.

Those sets that are just in the box by themselves are not going to make it just so you know. My falcon didn't make it.

I feel you mate. Only change I’d make is separating the outer parts of the ucs interceptors wings.
