Maybe the newer pieces got more "rough handling" after my younger brother
"inherited" the Lego collection(I went in to DA). He was not a Lego purist
as i was. I think he also could brake pieces apart to make them fit.
Arrrrghh.
He did not even bother to match the colors when building...

My white 1*8 piece with sticker "S-21" and even the blue 1*4 sticker from
the Norton motorcycle looks more good than some of the newer space pieces...
The pieces have never been sorted in anyway, and they have allways been in
the same box with major "shuffling". (I rember that my mother did not like
the sound... 8 hours a day 7 days a week for 10 years ;-)
Maybe it's just my pieces, being abused by my brohter? (Just wait until I
get hold of you...;-)
