(...) ... Well, as said, we asked again, and here is what we've been told to answer: TLG is switching back to textured slopes. So it turns out I was wrong about molds wearing off (and as some poeple pointed, it didn't quite fit anyway); apparently (...) (17 years ago, 11-Sep-07, to lugnet.ambassadors)

(...) I think you'll find that there has always been variation in the depth of the texture on slope bricks, it's just that the variation is now greater.

The last few retail purchases of Lego sets that I made disappointed me greatly in that the pieces I'd most desired, 2x2 medium-slope corners and 2x2x3 extreme-slope bricks, both in dark red, were (...)
