I live in Auburn, AL -- quite a ways from Huntsville (4-5 hour drive,
maybe?).
back to the subject of heat: I did a VERY INFORMAL test of 'baking' a
LEGO piece for about 15 minutes in my oven at about 160 degrees
Fahrenheit. It survived, none the worse for wear. It was a 2x4 white
brick. While in the oven, I pressed upon the edges with a knife in an
attempt to distort it... it held.
I'm gonna try a longer duration with a couple of bricks together today.
I have a feeling a 120 degree attic won't actually cause problems
(though I'm not quite ready to bet several thousand dollars worth of
LEGO on it [grin]).
