I once (12 years ago?) had a mismoulded bevel gear in a set.  But
things like this don't happen often, in my experience.

I too have had very few experiences of mis-shaped bricks/pieces.  I have
a very large collection, and only about 12 pieces are misshapen.  Of
these, 5 are from a 1957 set #700 (wooden box), and these 5 are more
cosmetic blemishes than actually being misshaped.  But I have rarely
come across any LEGO that is not near perfect.  Note: I have not yet
opened any of my LEGO boxes newer than 1998.


I have 3 pieces, and some multiples of one of them :)

1. 1x2 brick, 1/2 mold shot from look of it
2. Fence Pieces (multi copies, Lego withdrew the sets after several (3-4 of us)
complained about the part being mismolded and gave details of mold)
3. 2x6 plate, white with gray plastic in it as well.  This one is more recent
and quite strange, it looks like it was the first one accepted off the run, but
it has a gray streak along one side of it.
