Posted May 3, 20204 yr Hi everyone! Recently I've become concerned with the best way to store pieces that get to endure some pressure while connected. Especially parts with clips: should I store them attached to the bar they are supposed to be connected to, or is it better to take them apart? I would hate for the clips to break at some point, but I'm not sure if that's more likely to happen if I leave them attached all the time, or if I take them apart and then later have to connect (put pressure on) them again. The same goes for ball joint / sockets, and any other type of pieces that are connected in such a way. Thanks for any advice!
May 3, 20204 yr I store them loose and also frequently connect them things to them other than the corresponding/opposite hinge plate so there's no point to keeping them stored and connected together. Don't think its a concern for wear unless you're connecting and disconnecting them each thousands of times a day. Don't think they have much pressure when connected, its the momentary pressure increase while connecting them and they should be good for many tens of thousands of connections/disconnections otherwise Lego wouldn't make them. Don't overthink this, its a plastic toy that's meant to be played with and built/disassembled many times.
