Collector's Garage / Care, Storage & Display
Pack the model so it cannot move
Damage during transport often comes from shifting, pressure or contact with delicate parts. This guide focuses on the details that help collectors make an informed choice.
What matters—and why
Old foam inserts can deteriorate, and mirrors should not bear the weight of packing material. Compare the exact maker and release rather than relying on general assumptions.
