| I have been collecting Lego for over twenty years. I find that brown and dark
red pieces degrade and become brittle faster than any other colors. Even black
seems to be more stable. Do others find the same thing?

Reddish Brown and Dark Red were/are notorious for being unbelievably brittle.
I believe LEGO corrected this issue around 2018, so you'll find that some
of their older parts are typically more fragile. Plates from pre-2018 might as
well be a one-time use part.

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.

Been disassembling a number or sets recently to redo some rooms in my house
and ran into a number of problems with . Jumpers and plates were
a disaster during this break down.

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