What always interested me is the durability of things. How much pressure it can handle and how's the quality degraded after time. That's why it became my profession. I noticed Lego bricks quality decreased a lot in comparison to the 80's. Almost al my bricks from the 80's have no cracks or damage (Technic and regular Lego). I've bought sets recently which had instant cracks or they began to appear after 3 months display (http://www.eurobrick...ic=78740&st=125) Yes, Lego quality overall is decreasing, no doubt. However, how's Technic Lego doing? Apart from color differences in a set, i have not seen cracks. What i did noticed is the clutch power of the recent black friction pins, which decreased a lot, it hardly has any power. People can understand that after a short time the clutch power will disappear. The same for gears on axles... They are far too loose. Just rub it 50 times over the same axle and you won't have clutch power anymore. And displaying models for a long period certainly will do the clutch power no good. Compare that to the friction pins and gears/axles of the 80's. I wish they lost some clutch power. ;-) The good old days... when we bought Lego for the rest of our lives. What do you think of the recent Technic Lego quality?
