I knew that they were brittle but not this brittle

A LEGO fan shared a frustrating experience with a minifigure from the LEGO Ninjago set 70605, highlighting a potential durability issue. The user reported that the minifigure broke shortly after opening the sealed box and assembling it.

The user, /u/daei01, posted about the issue, mentioning that the minifigure was from the Misfortune's Keep set (70605). Despite the set being brand new and sealed, the minifigure broke after only two days of use. This suggests a possible problem with the material's integrity or a manufacturing defect.

This incident raises concerns about the long-term durability of LEGO minifigures, especially those from older sets. While LEGO is known for its high-quality products, this case indicates that some parts may become brittle over time or have inherent weaknesses.

If you encounter similar issues with your LEGO sets, consider contacting LEGO customer service. You might also want to keep a brick separator handy to help disassemble any sets that might be difficult to take apart.
