I have a collection that is probably pretty average around here, 100-200K or
so, and I have only had:

* 2 <http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=102288 badly molded
  bricks>
* 1 incorrectly packaged set
* 1 <http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/x1144 part> that fitted loosely

I've had 12 sets containing errors with a ~540K collection.

I'm sure that packing errors are devastating to kids (who start a model but
can't complete it), but I don't mind so much, in light of how I received at
least 2 bags of extra parts with my new Town Plan!  It seems that duplicates
were included for two of the parts bags.  The only other packing errors in my
collection that goes back to 1985 or so?  Those were in the latest Fire Station
set, the new Creator Townhouse, and Cafe Corner.  The statistics would seem to
indicate that something is amiss with the more recent sets.  As long as LEGO is
happy to correct these errors, I will not complain much, though.

(...) It's dropping-- not by huge leaps and bounds as people might lead you to believe, but it's dropping. But there's not much I can say other than "it's worse than it was before". I compare elements molded in roughly 1999 to elements molded today, (...) (17 years ago, 12-Feb-08, to lugnet.color)
