I have two out of four of the red rising half-arches from 6097 that are warped
slightly out of shape. They do not sit properly in any case, they will only
lock into place if there is nothing behind them. This was only true in one of
the ten of these sets that I opened, an obvious factory error. I have not
called for replacement, but I don't know if LEGO has any to replace them with.
Happy building,
