Sounds to me like TLG is running their molds WAY past their intended lifetime in
order to cut costs.
It's going to bite them in the behind if they don't watch it, as Ritvik's quality
is improving while Lego's is degrading. Sooner or later, even diehard Lego fans
will start buying Ritvik if it's BETTER than Lego.
Lego - SHAPE UP! More and more parts are coming straight from the box in crappy
condition. I've seen WAY too many 1x bricks with waves and mold-slump in the long
sides, and that's unacceptable.
