    Re: Minifig torsos... —Steve Bliss
   (...) That doesn't seem to be the case. At least in the limited test I performed. If anything, the bond between the standard plate and the X-torso was weaker than the bond between the plate and the standard torso. But the new torso interior could (...)

        Re: Minifig torsos... —Steve Bliss
   (...) Just remember: I've got plenty of opinions, and many of them are wrong. It's still interesting that the new torsos appeared in a limited-release 'theme' (the soccer sets). I don't have any of those sets handy, I wonder if *all* the 'figs in (...) (25 years ago, 11-May-99, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: Minifig torsos... —Jeff Stembel
     (...) I got 6390 Main Street not too long ago, and guess what? The torsos had nothing inside! They're very loose! I noticed the new X-torsos seem to bond more tightly than the ones from a couple years ago. It seems to me they're just making them (...) (25 years ago, 11-May-99, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: Minifig torsos... —Tamyra Teed ("Mookie")
     I've got torso's like this in other sets. Since I don't have any of the soccer sets I'd have to say they are the only ones with it. I noticed this too.. I believe it began with the new Ninjas that I really noticed it.. don't remember getting many (...) (25 years ago, 11-May-99, to lugnet.general)

     (...) Right. So the torso-mold-replacement seems to have happened between the production runs for 1998 and 1999. Right about the time the soccer sets would have been produced. Steve (25 years ago, 11-May-99, to lugnet.general)

        Re: Minifig torsos... —Todd Lehman
   (...) I think you may be right, though! -- I tried putting a few 1x2 bricks into a couple of the new torsos, and while it seemed like it'd hold better, it sure didn't seem to, just as you'd said. (...) Another weird thing is that I saw one old torso (...) (25 years ago, 11-May-99, to lugnet.general)
