For Marvel stuff pick up Marvel Unlimited. Tons of stuff from 6 months back and older. A few of the post Secret Series have shown up if you want semi-modern.

I also enjoyed DC Universe:Rebirth but have read nothing else since the one-shot.

I have tons of boxes, a good amount of bubble wrap and some thicker storage Ziploc bags. My Transformers I'm going to wrap individually with bubble wrap and put in the boxes. The Masterpiece and 3rd party will go in their boxes. I do worry about the effects on them but I'm hoping for the best. Unless anyone has any experience.

I'm more worried about the Toybiz and Hasbro Marvel Legends. There's more paint on those and being inside the POD for long term means heat, humidity, etc. Any experience here?

Most Legends should be alright for the move. I did a trip a month ago with them packed in a U-Haul from IL to KS in the heat. You can get archive quality bags if you are really worried but half of mine were in Ziploc bags and had no problems. A few years ago I had my stuff in a storage locker from July through June. The Legends were fine. I actually only had issues with a couple of the metallic paint Transformers in my collection.

As for moving and storage, I would recommend the Hefty brand plastic containers. I had one other container and the Hefty fall off of a stack in the truck. The other one broke but the Hefty did not have a scratch and everything inside was fine.
