  Hello All - I have a question about a particular minifig that is in the catalog.
It is pln056 from set 670-1. The catalog shows vest chevrons pointing up, a
red helmet, a blue torso and black legs.

I have a "version" with vest chevrons pointing up, a red helmet, a BLACK TORSO
and BLUE LEGS.

Is this a variation of pln056 or a different figure . . .

Thanks for any and all help!

Sounds like someone switched a red torso for a black one. The vest part can easily
be taken off and put on another torso.

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.

+1. I snapped a brown 2x10 plate last week

Been disassembling a number or sets recently to redo some rooms in my house
and ran into a number of problems with
 
Set No: 79003  Name: An Unexpected Gathering
* 
79003-1 (Inv) An Unexpected Gathering
623 Parts, 6 Minifigures, 2012
Sets: The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings: The Hobbit
. Jumpers and plates were
a disaster during this break down.

Haven't opened mine yet. Broken plates when I finally assemble it.

  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.
