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.

| 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.
