    Melted Pieces —Cory Gallaher
   I just got my UCS X-wing in the mail today, and it is the 4th set I have gotten in a row with melted pieces. Am I the only one that this is happening to? When I was younger I got quite a few sets and I don't remember any coming with melted pieces. I (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)
   
        Re: Melted Pieces —Jeff Shiner
     (...) I too have had the odd "melted" piece in my more recent kits... I suspect most of us have. However I have not had nearly the frequency you seem to be observing. I've only had two melted (malformed) pieces in the last 20-30 kits I've bought and (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)
    
         Re: Melted Pieces —Aaron West
     (...) Yep, I've got two (same part, same set) "melted" red quarter curve slopes from 6097. Those are the only ones that I know of, not really a critical part to get replaced as I got 10 of that set within a month from the same KB store. I WANT to (...)

         Re: Melted Pieces —Cory Gallaher
     I don't have alot of sets yet but I am working on it :) I am trying to remember all the sets, some were from last year. I may have been exaggerating when I said in a row, however not by much. I know my snowspeeder had a melted piece, and my b-wing, (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)
    
         Re: Melted Pieces —Jason Fabisch
     Iv'e had quite a few defects in the last few years. It started with the 8448 Super Street Sensation with the bad shocks that break over time. Then I got the Naboo Swamp that had a pair of warped pieces. Two of the 2x1 bricks with the claw coming out (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

         Re: Melted Pieces —Bryan Hodges
      (...) Well, I'm in the US and I've had the same experience you've had with the SW sets... nothing defective, nothing missing, and usually some extras. In fact, I can't recall *ever* buying a set with defective or missing pieces. It's possible that (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)

     Geesh I have had "lots" of new sets parts not "melted" but pieces so brittle (not from cold) they break under normal human finger pressure. Anyone else? -- Kenneth A. Drumm Ph.D. (24 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)
   
        Re: Melted Pieces —James Brown
   (...) Hunh. I've never had a melted piece, out of hundreds over the last few years. I've never had a missing piece, either (that wasn't obviously in-store theft). I have had a very few mis-printed elements, but certainly not more than 10 (and I (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)
   
        Re: Melted Pieces —Aaron West
   (...) What about the "common" minifigure head-print smudge on those that are printed using more than one color? If we start talking about them, then I'll have to make a spreadsheet, mostly covering the Adventurer sets. P.S. In the last few years any (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)
