| I just opened a brand new
and when I started to build it, the first few
[p=3062b]
in blue that I put on the build cracked almost immediately with an audible sound.
I had never seen or heard anything like this before in any LEGO that I owned,
so I stopped building right away.
When I looked at the parts, I noticed right away that the color of them looked
off. I then remembered that people here in the forums had talked about a "Brittle
Blue". Sure enough, these parts seem to match the typical color that I have found
in the forums for this "Brittle Blue".
After that, I looked through all of the blue parts in the set and noticed almost
all of them have this same off color of blue. I am afraid to try building with
any of the other parts so as not to crack them. It looks like the only blue parts
in the set that are not "Brittle Blue" are the cup, steering wheel stand and
the modified bricks.
Since some people seem to collect pieces in this "color", I was wondering if
anyone in the forums would be interested in some absolutely brand new "Brittle
Blue" pieces that have never been used in any way. If you are interested, let
me know.
Cheers,
Randy

That is really bad, it must be disappointing for that to happen when opening
a new set.
Can you guarantee they will break on first use?

It is, but I bought the set for the dinosaurs and minifigs, so no big loss. I
will just replace the crappy blue parts with others that have the typical blue
color.

I don't know about the slopes, plates, and Technic bricks, but if I was a
betting man I would gamble that the 1 x 1 round bricks would all break on first
use since I went three for three in less than two minutes.

Randy
