Just a note of warning. I left a couple of star wraiths in my car setting up on edge for a few days in 90+ degree weather. I dont think it got over a 100. But when I took them out today one was bowed over at one end about 3/4th of a inch. So you may keep a eye on your disc and dont leave them in the car.

I have heard friends say the star destroyers warp easily in the heat of their car with their thin flight plate. Don't leave babies in closed vehicles!

Unless they are actually melted, you can get them back to their original shape by laying them on something flat and useing the heat of the car to heat them up again. Most plastics have a memory of their shape. I used this method to sraighten out DX and Champ plastic havent had this happen to star yet.
Not too keen about the microwave and water method though. You can also try hot water, not boiling to relax the disc back to shape. |

You can also stack up some discs and put a weight on top and let them sit in the sun or behind a window. They will flatten out. I like a milk jug full of water. Just don't flatten the one on top.

I do have a stack of disc sitting on them and have for a few days. I think it is working so far. I just hate for someone to show up to play a round with a bad taco! My bowed DX goblins are a little slower to get back to flat though.

Get a bowl just a bit smaller diameter than the disc, put boiling water in it...then put the disc on top of it upside down, press down to get a bit of suction then fill the disc with boiling water leave it and let it cool. Works great...
