| So either the kid who this collection came from is unusually strong or LEGO is
having some serious quality control issues. I've found more broken parts
in this lot than I've ever seen before. I've got plates and bricks from
30+ years ago that have held up better than these parts from under 7 years ago.
Anyone else seeing an increase in damaged parts from newer bulk used purchases?

I’ve been having a hell of a time lately with new part outs. Mostly with dark
red and red brown. It’s so bad I started a box of rejects that I’ll just fill
up and sell by the pound.

| Funny.
I just did a build of over 9,000 pieces, all ordered from here.
Out of 14 little reddish-brown 1x1 round pieces, I broke 9 of them trying to
wedge them between 4 pegs. I didn't "cram"... I just set it in at
an angle, and gently pushed from above to level. SNAP. 9 times!

Maybe used is better than new??
Especially when you find
In a lot that you bought for $3 a pound(the weight)

Hey, I just found one of those in a five dollar bag at the thrift store! And
it was in fantastic condition too!

I found some of those type of cracked parts and several 1x1 round plates with
cracked out sides (PLG) in the 50 pound lot I just finished up. Most likely there
are more that were unnoticed that I will have to deal with later. I cannot spend
days looking for tiny cracks in every part.

I know this is a different issue, but my last 3 orders from LEGO.com have been
missing a significant number of parts or whole sets. Luckily they have a good
customer service system, but it seems odd.
