Maybe you can field this one as well. I have Technozoids Battlesaurus built and mib. Plus an extra unbuilt still on spures due to robbing a few parts and caps. On the built and that extra unbuilt on spure I've noticed that the white has started marbling, streaks of discoloration. Is the anything that can reboot the white? Bleaching it? Or some other less harsh more plastic friendly method? I've yet to open the mib but I'm betting it too has marbled by now as well.

I've been told that the peroxide + sunlight method absolutely works on toys and models the same as it does on old computer cases and such, but it makes them more brittle in the process, which is kind of a bigger problem for us.

I am curious about this myself. I haven't tried to "de-yellow" my stuff because it has been kept away from UV light, but I have quite a few parts I have acquired that could use the treatment... IF it doesn't brittle them!

I am curious about this myself. I haven't tried to "de-yellow" my stuff because it has been kept away from UV light I discovered my Storm Sworder had self-yellowed after a decade packed in a box. Only some parts, and all from the same sprues. I've seen some similar online. Same syndrome with the purple plastics on a Geno Saurer. Oh well; that is what paint is for.
