I have heard this is a big problem, action figures in white or light colors turning yellow. The only one that has done that to me is the 1980's Stormtrooper but many other non-figures have yellowed. From the 90's Star Trek shuttlecraft, the electronic R2-D2, the early 2000's Millennium Falcon, lightsaber blades (some have even shattered from this), etc. Is there a way to remove the yellowing from the plastic?

Also is there a way to stop it from happening to newer stuff? Like if it was left in a dark closet would that help or is more the air then the light? But since that's no fun as you can't see them is there a way to have them in a glass case/shelf and have them last?

And are there any really good UV (or air tight if its the air) cases for individual carded figures? I have one that is worth too much to let anything happen to it!
