Dread it,
Run from it,
Brittle plastic arrives all the same

one time I broke a mixel joint

Really? Maybe I just use them a lot more than average, but I don’t think I have one that isn’t cracked.

For me, the T-connector pice referenced in the first post is probably my most common brake. I’m actually running very low at the moment. It also kills me a little inside every time a purple pice from the Throwbots cracks.

Oh, for unexpected breaks, though, I have several Rahkshi backs that have been squeezed to the point that that can’t be atta he’d to their connecters.

It was a rather used piece and I guess I just pushed to hard and it shattered

All of my Mixels joints are slightly cracked (but still functional).

Well, that certainly meets the qualifications for this forum.

What were you doing with it that resulted in it’s breaking?

Pretty sure this qualifies. :anguished: (broken piece on the left, normal on the right.)
Forget lime green, I thinking that brown and dark red are the new fragile pieces (I’ve had multiple breakages with those colors within the last year)

I actually just read something about this:

Apparently Dark Red has caused some issues for Lego in the past.

Broken Metrutoran foot from a Dume I got a year ago :sob: :cry:

it still attaches weakly to a ball though, but it came as a shock to me because pre-06 sockets are usually really hard to break

did you mean pre-06 sockets?

Yeah lol

I cannot count the number of times that the lower edge of a plate has snapped inwards when trying to remove the piece with a brick separator. Typically happens with Reddish Brown parts, but I believe that’s pretty common.

I once had a av-matoran head from takanuva stars and the socket randomly decided to break on me

I had a CCBS elbow joint that snapped at the socket. It was surprising, as I’ve never seen it happen before.
