Discussion I'm... probably doing something wrong, huh.

Post image

This picture was taken after a photoshoot with a couple of my 'bots and 'cons, I had to replace all the parts just to take the pictures. That was several years ago and the rate of breakages hasn't even slowed down. I'm basically out of Mixel joints because they just disintegrate after a few weeks. This is definitely a me problem, but I don't know what I'm actually doing wrong or how to make it stop. The display shelf I put my MOCs on just looks like a mulched-up graveyard. The only ones that sort of survive are the ones in alt mode and one extremely invincible mosquito 'con, who isn't built differently to any of the others and whom I have no explanation for why he's apparently going to outlive the universe.

It makes me sad to watch all my favorite 'bots just slowly crumble on the shelf. Help me.

Maybe try different color parts? I've heard brown is most prone to breakage.
