hi axles can be unbent
some of mine were bent now they are not :)
you can do it in hands but carefully
and about joiners
didn't you set your model on open sun light, did you
my legoland bricks especialy small parts break more easly than before
they seems to be more hard and fragile (no elasticity)
but maybe my observation is wrong
btw: the brick colors are changing itself too (on sun light)
let me express condolences to you on the death of your bricks :))))
(joking)
best regards
