Ah...interesting. Perhaps it's the quality of the plastic used in new sets?
(I recently saw some simply horrid plastic on a free-MacDonalds give away
set...and I was saddened that Lego would put their name on such a thing...).
I've had one car frame, the edge of one 4x8 plate, and one red window frame

collections of off people over the years that I would be hard pressed to
