I have to side with this sentiment some, though I have seen some quality
problems (a malformed 1x8 plate, a misprinted Princess Storm head, poor
print quality on the straight wall of the 1st 10000 I opened, an almost
unprinted head in same 10000 [which I actually consider a bonus, though
it does seem to have one spec of black paint], one DOA micromotor).
What I'm curious about is whether folks are having selective memory.
It's a lot easier to find imperfections when you want to believe that
quality is dropping.
