I think a lot of quality control issues happens during the pigmentation process.
In the 90s, lego used pre-colored abs pellets, now it's all clear plastic
that is dyed in-house by lego.
So the product of the 90s was superior, but it had too many limitations in terms
of colour selection and material cost.
Lego also has a much, much larger parts catalogue now, with a lot more small
parts and some of them really push the limit of the capabilities of the plastic.
I recently bought a 1997 set that had it's box torn open but all of it's
parts mostly sealed and had the opportunity to build a brand new, vintage set
and it reminded me of how good everything felt back then. I think clutch power
isn't as good as it used to be.

Clear plastic. That does sound like it would explain things. What I know from
transformers is that clear plastic tends to be harder and more brittle than opaque
plastic.

| | So I pretty recently bought the GWP Tahu and Takua set, and have been noticing
an alarming number of cracked parts. I put the set together, occasionally pose
it a little, but haven't done anything like repeatedly disassembling and
then reassembling the set. Most of the time the set is just standing on my little
shelf, not under any direct sunlight. Yet it seems like every time I pick the
build up, I find a new cracked piece. All three side-stud pieces in both takua's
and tahu's head are cracked. both the ingot pieces on Tahu's, cracked.
One of the arches making up takua's arm? Cracked. One of the half-pound tiles
that makes up takua's toes? Cracked.
And that's only what I've found. I have a suspicion that if I were to
take the set apart, I'd find even more cracked pieces.
So my question is, well, in the title.

Any particular ones I should be looking at?

2x2 and 1x4 tiles have been horrific for me. The 2x2's have two distinct
colors and the 1x4's have white stress marks.

Yeah, it’s a reference to a André Pousse, an old French “bad guy” actor, who
said “just because it says ‘Benedictine’ on the john doesn’t mean it is,” about
what’s written in the newspapers
