(...) I meant that the Minitalia in the image was rounded. I remember mine being crisp, but that could be either because they are brand new never played with before I got them, or because they are the newer plastic. I also meant that the Olo was not (...) (12 years ago, 8-Apr-13, to lugnet.general)
