Toy Story Western Train Chase - Dynamite Sticks

[purple_clouds]

This set comes with a couple sticks of dynamite. The wicks on the dynamite sticks, however, seem pretty flimsy. They are thin and flexible. It looks to me like they are just asking to get broken off by enthusiatic kids.

All my dynamite sticks are like that.

I think thats just the way they're supposed to be.

Maybe we should have a rant club forum for all rants about quality control and other general rants because the amount of these kind of threads springing up lately is amazing.

And we don't want too many clogging up the forum.

I am pretty new to legos so I was surprised when I encountered such a flimsly piece because all the other bricks from my sets seem indestructable. I'm not trying to bash Lego, I'm just puzzled by this particular piece.

I think kids ought to know better than to bend a piece like that. After all, it's not all that much thinner than the flower stem, which is made of about the same consistency of plastic and has been around since 1976.

Yes, a few of my flower stems have probably been bent or broken over the years, but that's just a reason to be careful with such pieces, and I'm sure most kids would understand that.

The dynamite wick is thin and flexible but it's also very resilient to damage. It's fine.

Mine's flexible and hasn't been broken. I've had them for a year or so now. Don't sweat it.

I like it, adds more of a wick feel.
