Interesting points raised.

As to LEGO quality not decreasing, and us just noticing it…

I don’t buy that at all.  I don’t ever remember stacking new bricks (even a few
years ago) of the same color atop one another and seeing clear color
differences.

As to the MegaBloks comparison…

On the one hand, I think that the “appearance” of matching color is just as good
on MB as LEGO, but it’s not really a fair comparison. In my experience MB colors
are much “softer” and more translucent with a matte finish, and “actual” color
differences aren’t as visible.  LEGO bricks colors on the other hand tend to be
much bolder, more opaque, and glossier, and as such, minor color differences
stand out much more. I don’t want LEGO to downgrade their colors or their
quality. LEGO product costs what it does because the quality is supposed to be
the BEST.

As to the extent…

I didn’t realize this quality issue was so widespread and extended to tolerances
as well. I hope something is done to remedy this.  Despite the slightly alarmist
threads I’ve been starting, I really love LEGO and hope this gets remedied.

Last month, I was extremely excited to find dark blue corner bricks in PAB at the Schaumburg LEGO store. I picked up 30-50 or so of them as I packed a holiday box. When I got home, I took them out and noticed immidiately that they were at least two (...) (17 years ago, 12-Feb-08, to lugnet.color)
