Yep. Most of my old red roof bricks have warped, especially the 2x4x2
ones, they give a sort of scalloped efffect to the edge of a roof <g>.

Could be. At this point it's hard to remember, but I don't think we
bought any roof bricks between about 1970, when I was 12, and 1990 or so
when I was buying them for my daughter. As far as I remember, all the
roof bricks I got in my 'care package" from home <g> were the old
celluose acetate plastic but again I can't be sre, so you may be right -
that one ABS corner apex might have been an old one, not a new one.
