| Hello Everyone,
Is that a Lego variant on 60208? I don't find a 60208 with an irregular edge
like this one. I would think that this piece is just broken, but the edges are
so smooth and the "break" is symmetric on both sides. The smoothness of the jagged
edge makes me think it was manufactured this way.

This could be one of those parts that did not had enough plastic filling in the
mold, too short of plastic.
There is a name for such parts, I forgot it.
I believe there are collectors for these things.
So, indeed, a factory issue.

| Interesting responses. Thanks.
It never even occurred to me that this might be a "short shot".
Quality didn't catch this and it end up in someone's box.

I wouldn't throw it out, it's probably worth a little extra to the right
collector
