My LEGO from the seventies spent three summers in an attic in Lubbock TX, where
I know it got to at least 120 degrees and when I finally retrieved it, it was
fine. ABS has a very high melting temp, you need to get much higher than Texas
heat to ruin it. Now the candles that were stored up there were puddles, but
not the LEGO. Its a good thing because I would have killed my parents if it
was hurt. If you want to destry bricks, boil them. That's hot enough.
