I was looking thru my pieces last night and sure, TLC has been exemplary lately,
but I recall (strokes chin thoguhtfully) that when Samsonite was the authorized
maker and distributor of LEGO, at least for Canada, in the early '70's... I have
lots of basic bricks from that era and they're mostly crap now--warped beyond
useable and colours not matching at all--especially the 2x4's and 2x2's. Sure
they're over 25 years old but they no good!
