Gruesome Lego War Wounds
So, I was re-vaming one of my older (5 years without a costume change) figures, and as I tried to switch out the arm, and this happened...
Shattered like a glass bottle, I had to X-acto the nub off before the torso was usable.
How common is this type of extreme breakage?

Re: Gruesome Lego War Wounds
Never seen it before. How old is that fig/how much has it been used.
Re: Gruesome Lego War Wounds
Wow. The worst I get are cracks around the wrist holes. But only on really old figs, and never to that extent.

Yeah, I've never seen anything like that ever.
Re: Gruesome Lego War Wounds
Certain kinds of cleaning solutions will cause Lego to get brittle like this. Otherwise I don't know. Was the arm older than the rest of the figure?

Re: Gruesome Lego War Wounds
Absolutely disgusting. You should have warned us how graphic the image was going to be.

Re: Gruesome Lego War Wounds
I've seen it. Course, it was only two minifigs, and they're both long gone.

Re: Gruesome Lego War Wounds
I've never seen an arm crack like that, but I have seen hands crack both at the wrist and because of overstressing the "grippy" parts.

Well all I can say is,
it's about . . . time . . .
Re: Gruesome Lego War Wounds
Yeah, I don't know how the fuck this happened, the fig was old and I don't know the age of the arm, but I haven't used any cleaner fluids on lego.

Re: Gruesome Lego War Wounds
I had one where the joint was stuck inside the torso and the rest of the arm was broken clean off

Re: Gruesome Lego War Wounds
I've never seen that happen before, though I could see it happening if the arm was already cracked or damaged in some way.

Re: Gruesome Lego War Wounds
I have some clone troops from 2002 that have really bad torso cracks and I think a few have lost pieces off their arms. After 10 years and heavy play they seem to finally break down. Don't have any pics unfortunately.

Re: Gruesome Lego War Wounds
I have two construction minifigs from that big box of City minifigs that Lego used to sell. When trying to switch out arms, the arms just broke off on both of them. I then stopped trying to switch out arms .
The thing is, the minifigs weren't even that old.
