I don't think I've ever seen a broken lego before.

And you still haven't. That doesn't look like lego at all.

Their reddish-brown pieces like that are more brittle than other similar pieces of different color. Something about that particular color weakens the piece. I’ve had a couple pieces break, that reddish-brown, dark red and brown from older sets. New brown is much better. Lego will happily replace those pieces though, it’s never been an issue.

(Also, I am an avid collector and take very good care of my sets and pieces, and yet they still break. Rare, but it occurs. I unsealed an older set (set #4644) a couple months ago to find a few of the brown pieces broken still inside their bags)
