| hi
i found some modified plates with the same flaws as brittle blue parts
the color is lighter and not equal and the parts break easy.
official lego logo so original so far.
is this common? since i have never seen it before

I wasn’t implying you were the culprit 
But I think that’s what you’d get if you let soak ABS in bleach, or in very strong
peroxyde, for too long.
The plastic is over-degraded.
The colour-marbling is a cue.
