Childhood pieces have survived years of abuse, but some recent pieces from the last few years have had issues, either outright breaking or crumbling.
For example, the 1x3 sloped pieces in some of the newer sets are super fragile near the edge. Similar pieces from many years ago survived.
It's unclear whether the modern set designs are putting new strains on weaker points or if the material quality is worse, but either way the result is a doubt about the longevity of the pieces
- EamonnMR 5y agoSome colors, notably brown, are just more brittle.
- evilotto 5y agoThere were certain pieces in my childhood sets that broke regularly. something like "1x1 plate with horizontal clip". The clips broke off very easily if there was something attached.
- ansible 5y agoAny Lego piece with a clip has been a problem since inception. The worst were those grey pieces with clips on both ends and a 150-degree bend in the middle. So easy to break.
