I changed arms on a bunch of newer style torsos (plain green, plain red and

from the arm hole down to the waist.

Anyone else experiencing this?  Are they using thinner abs?

When LEGO assembles minifigs (an amazing process to watch) they put the arms
in pointing straight up.  Were you trying to remove them while they were
pointing up, or pointing down?

Well I didn't know that LEGO assembled them this way but come to think about it
that is how I always disassemble mine and I have not cracked a torso yet.  I
don't think I am quite as consistant putting figs back together though.
