PaddyBricksplitter Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Hi all I got a Lego Ultra Agents set recently and received two new metallic 1x2 curved bricks. They have this weird pattern in them, probably something to do with the manufacturing process. I was wondering if they are meant to be this way? Also if they are bricks damaged at the manufacturing source can I ask Lego to replace them? Quote
vl_cn Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Yes, they actually are meant to be this way. All silver metallic pieces have those lines. They are especially distinct in larger pieces. Metallic particles cannot dissolve evenly within the plastic, therefore those lines are inevitable in the molding process. Quote
PaddyBricksplitter Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 I noticed the same markings on some pearl gold jumper plates too. This time on the side. It's a pity the curved bricks have the markings in such a prominent place. Oh well, thank you for the reply, most helpful. Quote
