I've had a couple of problems. I had a misprinted piece and had a couple of
black slopes that were warped pretty badly. I've had a part missing from a set

of parts) next to eachother that were nowhere near the same height. An irregular
part here and there isn't so bad to me, but too large of a tolerance on each
element is a big deal and needs to be addressed immediately.
