No, but I have definite issues with older blue pieces and even some older green.
I had a Duplo green baseplate that was so brittle it practically fell apart (one
I bought from someone on bricklink). I had some supposedly new blue duplo 2x8
plates crack as they were separated from each other (one of my first bricklink
orders where I didn't want to leave negative feedback).

I have collected lego for over 30 years. I definitely find these colors degrade
faster. In fact just snapped another 2 by 8 brown plate yesterday. I do find
the white bricks that 20 plus years are very brittle but that being said they
are old and are not indestructible.

In LEGO, fracksfreakshow writes:

Anybody else ever received a crushed set from a Lego.com order? This is the
first time from a Lego order something like this has happened to me. The delivery
box was in normal condition, so when the set was packed it was already crushed.
The entire box is crushed and even the end of the box is ripped off. Maybe
someone wasn't feeling so awesome at the Lego factory that day? I was going
to give the set as a gift, but I think I'll order a new one and just keep
this set myself to assemble.

Oh, yes! I've had about 8-9 shipments over the years where the outer box
was fine and the set box looked like it was drop kicked or stomped. In the
beginning, I used to say oh well, luck of the draw. Not any more. With the high
price of some of these sets, I expect a decent box. As others suggest, call lego,
explain the damage of contents and that you'd like a replacement. They always
handled it well. It doesn't always work out to do this at the holiday though,
especially if it's a gift, with most sets selling out very quickly.

You probably have newer parts of the 1X1 plate with clip piece. In your picture,
the ones with the green check mark are both older versions of that part, and
since their clips are thinner, they fit into the headlight bricks better.

4085a Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Open O Clip Thin (Vertical Grip)
Parts: Plate, Modified

and

4085b Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with U Clip Thin (Vertical Grip)

are the ones you want. They're specific variants, so generally sellers who

Not that bad.

I think two things are happening:

1. we want to make things too perfect: little holes here and there are not that
bad!

2. “you’re holding it wrong” / going at it backward. The corner should be built
first. It should be easier to adapt the sides to an abritrary corner than trying
to build a corner on an arbitrary side.

Hey David,

Thanks for the response. I actually tried that, the two issues I had were 1.
The pitch in which the roof is angled and the size of the gap make it where that

I tried using a the ball and clip but again the pitch of the roof made it difficult.
Again, thank you for your response. Much appreciated!!

I can't answer all your questions, but I believe they upload the set inventories
the moment they become available for purchase to the public.
It is so that customers who have broken/missing pieces in those sets can get
them through the customer service on the site.

When the parts will be in stock to order on B&P, I do not know. That could take
weeks, maybe even months.

And you are probably right about the bots, that makes most sense. Or else some
very dedicated fella did upload almost 1000 new parts to brickset today

Just curious to know if anyone has figured out how/when Lego introduces new pieces
to its bricks and pieces catalog. Brickset just uploaded the newly released pieces,
but all are sold out on B&P.

If I'm remembering correctly, Lego used to list unavailable pieces as $0.00
and pieces that were actually sold out would have an actual price but be marked
as sold out... All new pieces have a price, and are marked as sold out.

Are there bots that snag these new parts as soon as they are listed? It's
always super frustrating trying to buy new parts off of B&P.

They use a mixture of out of stock, sold out and missing items. There rarely
seems any logic to it.

I believe LEGO corrected this issue around 2018, so you'll find that some

You found the Achilles heel in building LEGO houses: these kinds of angles are
near impossible to build.

If you go for best looks, you might want to use

col13-9 (Inv) Carpenter, Series 13 (Complete Set with Stand and Accessories)
3 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2015
Sets: Collectible Minifigures: Series 13 Minifigures

and cut up the corner tiles. Since that approach would be a no-go for many:

You could approximate the angle by

30504 Wedge, Plate 8 x 8 Cut Corner
Parts: Wedge, Plate

covered with

35787 Tile, Modified 2 x 2 Triangular
Parts: Tile, Modified

but you won't
end up at the exact angle due to the slopes of your roof. You would need to cover
the corners by

4162 Tile 1 x 8
Parts: Tile

or even some lesser known part as

30258 Road Sign 2 x 2 Square with Clip
Parts: Road Sign

You might get lucky building SNOT, with e.g.

60481 Slope 65 2 x 1 x 2
Parts: Slope

Or you might switch to a different roof style using

3675 Slope 33 3 x 3 Double Convex Corner
Parts: Slope

Enjoy building and exploring!

Has anybody received their Designer Programme Kakapo 910017 yet?

Mine arrived yesterday, and it was a really enjoyable build. Instructions are
download-only, but I have no complaints there. There are quite a few spare pieces
in the set (I counted 74), mostly 1x1 plates, so there's plenty of scope
to customise the model's plumage.

One oddity I noticed is that the wings are slightly asymmetrical: there's
a 3x2 plate missing from the underside of the RH wing. It's virtually invisible,
but I just thought it peculiar as the rest of the bird is completely symmetrical.

Other Kakapo owners, I hope you're enjoying the set. Let us know what you
think.

Another option is a program called Lego Digital Designer. You can build using

LDD has not had a part update for years. And the ordering bit was removed almost
