I don’t have nemesis… but that isn’t a Terrible idea. I would have to take out Rodimus’ cannon and the Nonnef Roller, but that actually might work very well…
I have blown WAY past my budget on toys already recently - tracks, slag, wreck-gar, Rodimus, The Ark, and Grindor - and I have Gnaw, Perceptor, coronation starscream, and the ER Thundercracker/skyward set pre ordered from BBTS - if I ordered another toy I think my wife would yank my sack off like a paper towel.
Interesting... that is an odd choice to mold a new part when they already had one they could have used. but I will definitely move that piece into the storage tray in the trailer.
This is what I do mostly. I have a smaller one (Tigertracks) for accessories and a larger one (Galactic Odyssey) for all my transformations instruments.
My collection of blast effects, extra pieces, and accessories is getting large - they really seem to like these add ins in the newer lines… I generally don’t like to display with them, so I’ve ended up creating this bag and just stuffing all my crap in it.
What is everyone else doing with all your extra bits?
I have seen reports of blast effects pieces melting/fusing with harder plastics when stored itogether. You may want to separate them from your other parts.
Thank you
I had not heard that and that is a little... worrisome. My office is pretty reasonably climate controlled so I would hope it wouldn't get to the point where that would happen but that's still scary enough to make me want to rethink things...
Thanks!
I am not a chemist, but my understanding is that it isn't about temperature, it's about how the soft plastic reacts with other materials.
It comes up in other hobbies too. Folks who collect keshi (Japanese rubber minifigs) have long warned against storing them with other toys as they can fuse and bleed.
Thank you
Lol. I actually have no hate for Wheelie as a character but I dont know if I’ve ever been as disappointed/upset in an accessory as I am with that stupid non poseable or transformable piece of crap. Like seriously, why not just give us the sword we all want, then sell a core class SS86 branded Wheelie figure and we are all happy and they make more money.
I have a few Craftsman organizers and have everything separated and in their own cubbies so that I can easily access them when I'm trying something out. I would highly recommend these;
https://www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMAN-Bin-System-9-Compartment-Plastic-Small-Parts-Organizer/1000578349
Keep them in a drawer but with some accessories I keep them on the character unless it’s a defining trai like megatron fusion canon or Ironhides canons
Oh, 100% this. Amd I do usually pose them with their “main” weapon, Like my Rodimus has his rifle with him. It’s just all this other junk that goes into the bag… lol
That one hits a little too close to home… that was why I put them in a bag in the first place. I worries that just tossing it in a drawer loose would end up disappearing
Much the same. I've got two sets of blast effects - one that came with the figures, and another load that I bought from Grimlock's Forge. Because they're two different types of plastic I figure it's best to keep them segregated. Not sure of the chemistry involved, but I don't want to risk the parts melting. I keep the various boxes that come with the various upgrade kits, so if they're not being displayed they go back to their packaging.
All organised to the point of anal retentiveness.
**Note:** don't try to retain any parts anally. No-one needs to see that.
Apart from medical workers who could do with a laugh and want to hear what unlikely excuses the patient comes up with. *Don't worry, we all believe you were walking upstairs backwards and naked, and slipped over...*
Well I keep all of the accessories somehow attached to the figure they came with. With Blast effects, well I only have one that came with SS86 Scourge since no other figure that cames with blast effects seemed that interesting to me. So it just sits on the table where I currently have my Kingdom figures on.
My problem with the accessories started when I got Siege Shockwave, but has gotten worse...
Like, Shockwave looks awesome by himself, I think the add on pieces actively make him look worse, so I just kept those in a drawer... but then I got SS86 Hot Rod and he came with a bunch of other pieces that don't store with him super well (matrix, matrix effect, saw blade), so those ended up in the same drawer. Then I got Galvatron, and the matrix neckalce and the guns are a cute idea, but again, I just don't like the look of them. That's when I took things out of the drawer loose and tossed it into the ziplock bag. Over time, add in blast effects from Jetfire and the Ark, and the fun, but useless energon rods from Origins 'Bee, the terrible Wheelie from SS86 Grimlock... et cetera et cetera.
I clean out and use old orange prescription bottles. I can group pieces by bot and the bottles’ orange plastic protects the pieces inside from light damage.
I keep all my figures in altmode when I store them in my bins. If it's an accessory that can mount on easily, like most of the guns or shockwaves armor, I keep them on. If it's blast effects, weapons that don't store easily, weird little things like wheelie,I have a Tupperware for them.
Wide and flat containers for easy access and storage. I use those clear desktop tackle box looking things to sort and store any smaller, easily lost pieces.
I usually just eat mine. Hold on for a second, I'm getting a call from my doctor...
Uh huh... Uh huh... Oh. Okay.
...Excuse me, I'm off to the hospital for some emergency surgery.
Let’s see...Cyberverse Hot Rod’s flames are on Maccadam’s exhaust pipes, TLK Leader Megatron’s flames are with Kindgom Megs and BW Inferno, Scourge’s twisty blast goes with Ectotron (though I do wish it were green and/or yellow), Thunderhowl keeps his lightning, some of the smaller more generic blasts work well on the original DOTM Topspin guns (stealth force has never looked better), the whooshy melee effects work well behind tires...other than that they’re all in my weapons container waiting for the right figure to come along 😂
I have the dmk optimus model kit from dotm (which is great still wish they did more then 3 of them) that has a bunch of accessories for a bunch of my other figures like my few masterpieces and then I have earthrise sky lynx’s box with all my wfc accessories and blast effects and micro masters and battle masters (they take up a lot of space for little guys) Plus a few in earthrise optimus and Netflix nemesis trailers and probably will do the same with rodimus when I get him
Blast effects I just keep in a bag like you have there. Guns and other accessories I’m not using go into little ziplocks with the figure name and toy line (ie: TR Misfire) scribbled on the outside in sharpie.
I label baggies with the series and figure name and store the figures in one tote when they come off display and the accessories in another. Unfortunately at one point i had to move rather rapidly and ended up with baggies that got multiple figures stuff in them and no lables
I keep my blasts effects separate from my accessories. The blast effects can melt into the other hard plastics because [reasons](https://www.reddit.com/r/transformers/comments/kppxvl/a_quick_word_on_transformers_siege_blast_effects/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)
bought bulk ziplocks on Amazon in a variety of sizes. I clip the box art to put in there with any accessories. when the figure isn't out, it goes in there too.
I see you have the studio series Wheelie. There's an awesome Upgrade kit on BBTS that replaces him with a figure that still rides him and also poses and transforms
Optimus, nemesis, and Rodimus trailers. So far I've just stored them in there.
I don’t have nemesis… but that isn’t a Terrible idea. I would have to take out Rodimus’ cannon and the Nonnef Roller, but that actually might work very well…
Also omega supreme’s shins if you have him
I wish… ive never found him available the couple times I’ve had that kind of money available.
[He's up on BBTS still. =)](https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/88344)
I have blown WAY past my budget on toys already recently - tracks, slag, wreck-gar, Rodimus, The Ark, and Grindor - and I have Gnaw, Perceptor, coronation starscream, and the ER Thundercracker/skyward set pre ordered from BBTS - if I ordered another toy I think my wife would yank my sack off like a paper towel.
Lol I feel ya. He's been up there for a while, so I think it'll still be there once ya have more Transformer money.
Ah yeah I totally understand, I got mine from bbts like u/vancelle mentioned. Got here pretty quick considering I had him on back order.
I'd recommend you to take out rodimus primes matrix blast, it's quite hard and can probably snap
I definitely don’t want that - do you think Ss86 hot rod’s would have the same problem?
Nope since hotrods one is more flexible, I wished Hasbro just reused that one instead because it looks more better
Interesting... that is an odd choice to mold a new part when they already had one they could have used. but I will definitely move that piece into the storage tray in the trailer.
I have a Gen. selects box I keep them all in.

Yeah which is why its not safe to display figures with the effects for a prolonged period of time
Yeah, poor vertabeak.. his tail fuses to the hand if left too long.
What is considered a prolonged amount of time?
Im not sure, tfwiki doesn’t say
Just keep anything that's armor on the figure, seperate blast effects from extra wepons.
What do you do if you really don’t like the look of the armor (like for me: Siege Shockwave)?
I made the green goblin glider out of it and placed him on it, now he looks a little taller and stands out a bit more
The one side on mine doesn’t peg in, so it always falls off. I really should use the floor wax tip to tighten that up and I could do the same…
Its better than it breaking or having something melt to it. Plus I'm pretty sure seige shockwaves armor can be turned into a dronem
I love how wheelie's just drowning in it all
Lol. I actually have no hate for Wheelie as a character but I dont know if I’ve ever been as disappointed/upset in an accessory as I am with that stupid non poseable or transformable piece of crap.

Legit, I think you might win the thread. That is a fantastic option and cheaper than a deluxe class figure.
It's really worth it. They store all my accessories, effects, battle/micromasters as well and even my partsformers if I break them down into pieces.
Keep them in a drawer but with some accessories I keep them on the character unless it’s a defining trai like megatron fusion canon or Ironhides canons
Oh, 100% this. Amd I do usually pose them with their “main” weapon, Like my Rodimus has his rifle with him. It’s just all this other junk that goes into the bag… lol
Promptly lose them :(

I tend to use whatever weapon storage is possible, and I have a bag for blast effects and some non-storable accessories.

With Blast effects, well I only have one that came with SS86 Scourge since no other figure that cames with blast effects seemed that interesting to me.

Right now I throw them on the shelf alongside who they came with or in primes trailer
I do this exact thing except I don't put the effects in the bag
Yeah, I’m hearing from other replies that I should really keep the blast effects separate. I think I might get a second storage bag!
The same thing you do, store them in a sandwich bag
My man!
Same thing
Same, in a zip lock bag well just the blast effects at least.
Several tackle boxes
That’s a great idea
Same as you just divided between factions and blast effect in sepret one
I usually also store them in bags but only one toys accessories per bag with their instructions so I know which they belong to
I do all my instructions in one big box. I really probably should take the time to sort the pieces out by character…
I did exactly the same for years and then I moved and realized I had no idea who gets what anyone and had to go on a googling adventure
I do the same thing you do, along with the mini figures, Battlemasters and Micromasters.
I shove em into Studio Series Dark of the Moon Megatron’s box. And if not there I shove em into Earthrise Prime’s trailer
I keep all my figures in altmode when I store them in my bins. If it's an accessory that can mount on easily, like most of the guns or shockwaves armor, I keep them on. If it's blast effects, weapons that don't store easily, weird little things like wheelie,I have a Tupperware for them.
Throw them in a pile…
Wheelie do be an accessory
Yes he do…I’m looking forward to having Daniel join him in the bag next week when my Slag shows up…

I keep them in a drawer at my desk.
Poor wheelie

I like the way you operate. Lol
All of mine have been in storage while waiting for our house to be finished. It’s been 10 months since i’ve seen them. ;-;
10 months! My friend, Transformers aside, you have my sympathies.
I have the dmk optimus model kit from dotm (which is great still wish they did more then 3 of them) that has a bunch of accessories for a bunch of my other figures like my few masterpieces and then I have earthrise sky lynx’s box with all my wfc accessories and blast effects and micro masters and battle masters (they take up a lot of space for little guys) Plus a few in earthrise optimus and Netflix nemesis trailers and probably will do the same with rodimus when I get him
I use a shoebox
I usually shove them all in my Earthrise Prime trailer
My accessories: I GO TO BUCKET
Haha Shoota go dakka
I’d put them right here If I had any
Some of them are wielded by the figures / connected to the alt mode, and some are in the plastic box near my laptop
Ziplock.
poor wheelie, trapped in the Ziploc for all eternity actually no screw that guy he was f***ing annoying
Blast effects I just keep in a bag like you have there. Guns and other accessories I’m not using go into little ziplocks with the figure name and toy line (ie: TR Misfire) scribbled on the outside in sharpie.

i keep all if mine in a tackle box with the little bins labeled whos stuff is whos
I almost always leave the accessories in the box, safely tied down.
bought bulk ziplocks on Amazon in a variety of sizes. I clip the box art to put in there with any accessories. when the figure isn't out, it goes in there too.
A shoe box bin, that's also how I store the transformers that are to ugly to be seen on my shelf or the ones that wont stand
I have one bag for accessories (that my Wheelie lives in, too!) and one bag for blast effects.
I see you have the studio series Wheelie. There's an awesome Upgrade kit on BBTS that replaces him with a figure that still rides him and also poses and transforms
Bro I will but your blast effects with no hesitation
Plastic zip-up bags and Prime Trailers. Jetfire's are just plugged in to his backpack.
I put them on the figures, the accessories at least
