Quality is definitely going down on the plastic. I've had a ton of these pieces break
>>5833077and not the clip part, but the tile base part itself cracking in half. No stress on the pieces either, it's just sitting there displayed. They're not being exposed to extreme temperatures or anything. It makes no sense. 3 of the 4 clips from this set and both fins on the back have been broken, and all but three of the brown angled clips that hold Gorzan's Gorilla Striker's fingers have split as well. I don't know if Lego will send replacement parts for a set that old, but this is pretty ridiculous. I'm guessing you send them a photo and the proof of purchase number from the instructions with a request for the parts? I dunno, I never had to do this before.
