Interesting thread! We can get up to 45 degrees celcius here and I can tell you that Klickies dont much like it. I would love a special storage area...my poor old wardrobe is full of the stuff. I think our roof space would get to over 50 degrees in summer.

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

A: No


I love how we take 6 pages to get to this answer :lol: :lol: :lol:

Damo :)

I think you have it backwards, its an uncooled attic that is the biggest problem

a few more pages are required  :P
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

I think it's just best not to put anything up there at all :lol: :lol: :lol:

Lego is fine. You can put as much Lego as you like up there ;)

Yeah, who cares if legos get damaged? :lol:

Seriously, though, all of our legoland pirates were in the attic for many years with no damage, and are up there again in fact. So pgal, send the legos to the attic, play with playmobil! ;D

Up until a year ago I had about 3 big tubs of Lego up in the loft for a good few years, and nothing was damaged

I was storing a lot of things in my  ( unheated ) Attic when i was in the UK . My roof was pointy and i could stand up in my attic , wasnt very carefull though and though 90% was boarded there were two squares next to the boiler that werent boarded for easy access to tubes etc etc , only covered with some insulating material etc .  Whildst i was moving some boxes full of playmobil ( Steck actually ) i stepped on one of those squares and my leg and I ,went right through , hanging above the stairs that go to the bedroom floor below , i was alobe at the time, the pain was terrible , it took a lot of strength to bring myself up again, I ended up in hospital with cuts and bruises  and i was bleeding too , insurance fixed the hole that i created, after than the playmos were moved to the shed as i mentioned previously. Dont like attics much after this accident ....  :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm:

Ouch! That must have been painful!  We have part of our attic floored but not the part over our living room... one day my brother was carrying a big bookcase to put across a couple of beams on the unfloored part, walking balancing on a beam, and he slipped and put both feet through the ceiling, and sat down on the beam! The bookcase landed across some beams and only a corner came through the ceiling.

Ouch! These are painful stories...just reading them hurts!

BB: Tomorrow we begin loading L containers in the attic....don't worry, no precious Pm will go up there! Thanks for your suggestion about segregating the two families of toys to avoid squabbles between families a la Romeo and Juliet!

Maybe the L use a different type of plastic that might be a bit more durable....who knows. Will probably move them back down into the house before it heats up in the spring.

As I was sorting the L, I saw so many fine Duplo pieces that I wish PM would make for the 123 line because it is really short on accessories. Aaaaaah, Pgal :wave:
