Like the idea that the plastic formulation in Bionicle parts ever changed across its ten-year lifespan

 

 

I could have sworn I heard somewhere that they'd done something to Lime Green at some point past 2007? because I remember Lime Green was always somewhat fragile. Did they change Lime Green or just change the more breakable molds?

Lime Green joints were more brittle in 2007 due to a large batch of parts that were improperly cooled after being cast, and in 2008 the redesign of all the joints unintentionally put them under more stress during normal use (causing fragility regardless of color). The myth that the lime green joints were due to any form of cost-cutting or that the plastic formulation for the joints ever changed is a meme that simply will not die, no matter how much evidence piles up against it.
