Is it safe to store PM in an unheated attic?

I must admit I like duplos. I had a duplo dollhouse as a kid, and lately I keep looking at the duplo zoo and trying very hard not to notice how cute it is!

Anyway, I think the legos suffer less damage because of smaller pieces partially. The playmo damage was to long wall pieces and such that warped and twisted. Small pieces do better, except for the yellowing. Btw, I haven't seen any yellowing on my legos, the soldiers forts are still stark white after many years of being in the attic.

bb: This really made me laugh because I adore my Duplo zoo, too!

However, I am collecting the 123 zoo slowly and like those animals as well.
123 houses and buildings are really cute, too! Do you have the farm? I don't yet.

Will just put L in the attic for now. Hubby did a wonderful job last weekend of adding plywood over the insulation and joists and a rail around much of the edge to keep us from falling through the ceiling and bouncing off the cement garage floor 10 feet below. 

Folks: Please make sure you have flooring where you store things and walk in your attic...too many horror stories of fatal and almost fatal injuries caused by folks falling through the floor/ceiling. Pgal

I don't have any 123 yet, but it's only a matter of time.

what was the conclusion then ? 

[conniefrere]

Ok then...

Q. Is it safe to store PM in an unheated attic?

A. Yes

Q. Is it safe to store PM in an uncooled attic?

A. No.

Are we at seven pages yet?

I guess this was the conclusion in the end.

The more scientific question should be: at which temperature interval is playmo stable?
Of course humidity, direct sunlight and pressure are assumed comstant.

The answer is that being unheated isn't the issue; being uncooled is the problem, so no, it is not safe in the attic.
