replaced some of my broken bits. Older bricks I've found are the usual Lego
quality.

I’ve only had four modern Dark Red parts break, but I don’t own enough old Dark
Red to know if that color is as brittle.

Afaik, it was around 2012 when all the browns (reddish brown, dark brown, new
dark red) were horrific? I remember seeing a post about a copy of 9474 where
almost all the brown parts were broken fresh out of the box.
Some info on those bad batches here:

On a related note, I know there's been "brittle blue" parts from
07, as I have one from that year. So frail :c
