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, and recently my MTT and the
UCS x-wing. I got the MTT for Christmas and bought the X-wing with Christmas
money so those were in a row, I think I got my technic sets after the b-wing
so if we are counting those then its not 4 in a row. It is still 4 out of a
very small collection, I have only one of all the starwars sets.

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 frankly its not worth my time to get Lego to replace • them.

Perhaps I should... if only to help identify this as a potential quality • issue.

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 call LEGO and get them replaced, but they are neat as a
novelty.  Considering all the sets I got must have come from the same
factory batch, only one (total) defect in the lot won't make my
upset-o-meter go up as much as a missing part.
Best,
Aaron

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)
