Anybody have any broken 2.0 parts?

[Wind Elemental]

I have a broken 3.0 part. It's one of those pieces that connects Bulk's blades to an armor piece. Other then that, nope.

[Manterax Prime]

Nope, and I don't think I ever will.

[Mesonak]

They're oissubky the sturdiest kind of Lego piece I've ever come across. As such, none have broken, and I don't forsee any breaking.

[an cool dude]

I seem to remember Lego saying they couldn't be broken unless you hit them with a hammer. If I recall correctly, I haven't hit any of my sets with a hammer recently.

So, nope! None of my 2.0 onward parts have broken.

[Kojol]

Actually, yes - one of Stormer's lower legs broke apart - half of the socket just cracked off, quite cleanly and all at once.

This might be a side effect of how whenever my brother and I act out fight scenes with them, the scenes tend to lead to "I took it... AND THREW IT ON THE GROUND!!!"

[ankyfdarkness]

All my parts remain intact. I don't foresee any of them breaking in the near future. They're made of some sturdy plastic.

The original Stormer, or his 2.0 / 3.0 version?

[Manterax Prime]

same question as Mesonak

[Element lord Of Milk.]

Nope, and since I don't put any strain on the joints aside from taking them apart I doubt I will ever break a post-2.0 part.

Well, it being a topic on 2.0 parts, I'm referring to his 2.0 form. Also lower leg only exists as a discrete part in 2.0/3.0 form.

[Bfahome]

Short of stomping on them I don't see much potential for many of the the parts to break. The older molds in the sets are probably more likely to break than the newer ones.

[Ultimate Sybre]

No.

[Akuna Toa of Sonics]

Nope. I really like how sturdy and unbreakable they are compared to Bionicle's post-Mahri pieces.

I'm actually surprised that happened. He shouldn't mistreat sets like that. Sure these new joints are somewhat made for rough play but still.

[Bambi]

I dropped my Breeze 2.0, and her arm fell off. It surprisingly wasn't broken.

[Aanchir: Rachira of Time]

All my parts remain intact. I don't foresee any of them breaking in the near future. They're made of some sturdy plastic.

They're made of the same ABS plastic (or in the case of transparent parts, polycarbonate plastic) as any joint pieces before them. The design is what's sturdier, not the material.

None of mine have even showed any sign of breaking. Pity the same can't be said of the Y-joints in my Jetbug set, which was from an early production run and thus used the 2008-2010 style of joints.

[aaninja64]

None. I've stepped on a hero (it hurt), and it didn't break. Now if you were talking about my Lesovikk, that's a whole different story.

~DD

[King Joe]

Nope, I've had the joint on my 1.0 Furno almost completely degrade, however.
Makes him almost unuseable.
There were a few times when a joint popped into place loudly, but it never cracked like I thought it would.

[GeluNumber1]

No, none. The new socket joints are very durable, thus, no more broken parts. Yayz.

[Ballom]

I haven't played around with the Hero Factory pieces much in MOCing, so that may be why, but I still haven't had any of those pieces break.

~B~

[TakuaTheAvrahk]

Not one piece has broken.

[Heehvan]

Nope, never had one.

[Biohistorian]

Actually, my first Evo 2.0 upper arm piece broke off.
must be because i kept breaking it off mixing him with other sets.

[Manterax Prime]

Spotted fractures in the ankle sockets of Furno 2.0 early this morning. The sides of the socket are not in any danger of breaking though.

[Angel Bob]

Broken 2.0 parts? That doesn't happen.

[Eragon3443]

No, but then, I don't have any HF sets.

[Daiker]

Actually, my first Evo 2.0 upper arm piece broke off.
must be because i kept breaking it off mixing him with other sets.

But the parts were made to be taken off and on...? I guess a bit too much could do some damage, but that seems to be such a rarity.

And no, not one parts has cracked

[Takua Nui of GoAnimate]

Anybody have any broken 2.0 parts?

Ever since the 2.0 series release, none of my new parts have broken. Very pleased.

[gerou100]

I have no 2.0 pieces a friend lend me occasionally and I must say,are of very good quality

[christo1096]

No, but some of my 1.0 socket parts are cracked

[The Inquisitive Automaton]

I can praise Artakha, no, no I have not.

[Hastur the Unspeakable]

Between mine and my siblings', there are a total of...let's see...around sixteen 2.0 style sets at our house. We haven't had a single broken piece yet.


"But as long as I'm here, I get to bust heads!"

[Chols]

Could anyone with broken 2.0 joints provide pics? I'd like to see just how bad these can break.

I dropped Rocka down the stairs by accident on the day I got him. The joints popped off quite easily (I doubt older sockets would have done that), but they weren't damaged in the slightest. It's probably better that their connection is slightly looser, cause that softenes impact should a model fall over.

Even if they can break, I gotta say the newest joints are the strongest yet. If this were 2007, this topic would be filled with people reporting broken sockets.

They can break? Those things are practically indestructible! And come to think of it, from 2007 up till HF 2.0, the joints were pretty fragile.

[King James]

I never broke any of my 2.0 sets' parts.

[Randy Disher]

I am happy to say that I have never broken a 2.0 or later part.

[Meiko]

I haven't had any of my 2.0 or 3.0 pieces break, but I do know that the 1.0 parts were prone to breaking. In my opinion, LEGO did a good job redesigning the Y-joints so that they rarely break.

Heh... I don't need YOUR handouts!

Anyways, Yeah none of my parts have broken, and it hopefully stays that way!

[Damaracx 7.0]

None of my parts have broken.
