My understanding, is some of the older promos warp more when exposed to light. Any light, but especially sunlight. I don't for sure if this is true or not. But, that's what I've been told.

My understanding is that the plastic warped as it off-gassed and the damaged occurred within a few years, and that any promo you got today wouldn't deteriorate any further. That doesn't explain why some of the same model warped more than others, maybe environmental with humidity and temperature playing a part.. I don't know what's actually right.
