 | | A closer look at defective spiral stairs

|
A couple days ago, Doyle Nelson alerted us all to re-examine our HP stairs: (URL) actually didn't remember a problem building either set, though upon closer inspection, I actually DID recieve "defective" stairs. It's not overly problematical or (...) (22 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.general, lugnet.lego) !

(...) the stair pieces in these sets are consistent or random? 1-01 (2) 1-02 (2) 2-01 2-02 3-01 3-02 (2) 4-02 5-01 6-01 (3) 7-01 8-02 -------- 16 ... and these seem to be all good. -- Pawel (22 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.general)

(...) Looks like someone assembled the molds wrong IMO. That could explain why there is a 180 degree difference in the notches in the underside of the stair pieces. Simple enough of a mistake to overlook, but large enough to cause significant (...) (22 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.general)

(...) They are random. Here's mine: 1-01 (1) 1-02 (2) 2-02 (2) 3-02 (2) 4-02 (1) 5-02 (3) 6-01 (1) 6-02 (1) 8-01 (1) 8-02 (2) Adrian -- www.brickfrenzy.com (22 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.general)

(...) That was my thought-- and even more of an easy-to-overlook mistake because the stairs slide so easily. As I said, I was completely unaware that there was a problem until I actually went and checked a 2nd time. I don't expect that this will be (...)

(...) From which set? And all non-defective, I presume? For the moment I'm wondering more whether defective pieces have consistant numbers, and whether, within a single set, if any normal AND defective steps have the same numbers...

I happened to notice this problem right off when I built the staircase for my 4706 Forbidden Corridor a while back. It was super obvious because when I spiraled the staircase for the first time, right in the middle, there was a gap, but the rest (...)

In lugnet.harrypotter, David Eaton writes: <snip> (...) So for clarification on the findings, 4706 does\can have a random defective part in it. I have a least one on the set that I have (Richard Marchetti also found one in his). It is not specific (...) (22 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.general)

(...) I see that David Wertz reported one in his copy of 4706 ( (URL) ), but also Richard? I must have missed his post to that effect... Too bad it's in both sets :( I had hoped it would only be specific to one... DaveE (22 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.general)

I just purchased 7 sets of stairs from the 4709 set and all the stairs were OK I purchased 2 sets before that but they were not built so I could comfirm. It seem to me that the majority of bad stairs are in the smaller set. Its totally random. Mine (...) (22 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.general)

I just received today the Consumer Affairs package to send the defective pieces back, so I will keep everyone informed as to what happens. But I still think everyone who has these bad pieces should call consumer affairs themselves to get the right (...) (22 years ago, 22-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.general)
