Thanks for the tip about stacking plate tolerances, Jake. A related effect occurs with some 1x2 bricks (first obvious to me with sand red). The crack between bricks in a wall depends on which way the 1x2 are pointing. One end of each brick is a (...) (22 years ago, 1-Jul-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color, lugnet.general, FTX)
