Thanks for the tip about stacking plate tolerances, Jake.
A related effect occurs with some 1x2 bricks (first obvious to me with sand
red). The crack between bricks in a wall depends on which way the 1x2 are
pointing. One end of each brick is a little thicker than the other.
Since Lego molds inject into one stud or the other, I don’t see how it’s
physically possible to avoid this: the plastic is going to be a little denser at
one end, and therefore cool differently. Unless it too is just an allowable
tolerance. (Or maybe the mold is never quite symmetrical on purpose to
counterbalance the shrinkage effect, and is calibrated for white rather than
sand red... it makes my head hurt.)

| I've had a number of people ask me about a perceived quality issue lately: If you take a number of plates and create two or more large stacks, they tend to be differing heights. For example, Ben has posted some photos here: (URL) I mentioned that (...) (20 years ago, 30-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color, lugnet.general, FTX) !
