Breaking CCBS Pieces

50% of all my 3-long blue pins are chipped. I find the black ones stronger for some reason.

In terms of CCBS some bones that I notice are looser than usual are starting to crack at the sockets from constant use

oh wow.

No other pins that I have are broken, except maybe a few squished ones (I used to pull them out of sets with my teeth as a kid, which was not the best plan)

Actually you are wrong, black pins are much more weaker than the blue ones. I have two long black pins that are broken.

Maybe in your experience, but other people have different experiences, and, possibly, you’re both right.
It’s not always my way or the highway.

I would say that’s true considering I’ve never broken a blue pin yet I’ve broken like four black pins.

You’re definitely not. I have to be really careful with mine now.

I’ve had the 2015 add-on break from tahu

Had several of them break prior - but yeah, they can break like most Lego pieces. Just depends how long. Mine tend to last about 3-6 months before they lose friction and/or start to break

yeah, the only CCBS part I’ve broken is 1 friction adder.

Lol I was gonna use it on a moc but when I stuck it on it just snapped :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Really because I still have some from 2.0 sets and they still have plenty of friction, not as much as new but they have been through a lot of mocs.
