Thanks for the info Lindsay.
A few years ago I started keeping my broken bricks in a separate container.
I'm noticing that container is getting a little full. There is a slew of
bricks that got damaged when my friend and I made a movie (mostly fire
damage--melted ABS is not so good but the explosion on film was great!), but
lately I'm seeing more and more Technic pcs get thrown into the broken brick
bin.
What? Throw them out? You're kidding, right?
