My own experience does not reflect this. The last time I found a QA
problem was with a few long 2X plates that were warped slightly and thus
connected poorly -oddly enough this was in what now is considered one of the
all time best sets -the 6990 Monorail Transport System- a set that is by no
means recent.
HOWEVER, if there is any truth to such claims of QA issues (which I cannot
confirm or deny), then TLC best be reading this thread. The reliability and
durability of their bricks and elements was the reason I have given for
collecting, since age 6. A deterioration in element quality would
irreparably change such an opinion for many of us here, and would prevent
the next generation from developing into AFOLs.
