Using parts from the Harry Potter sets (particularly the new 4712 "Troll on the Loose" one) it is now all too easy to construct a Headless Horseman mini-fig. I threw this one together and snapped a few pics using the new camera (combo s-vhsc (...) (23 years ago, 28-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.harrypotter) !

| | spiral stairs defective?
|
|
I took a look at my stairs but I can't tell if they are defective or not. How do you know? They seem fairly loosey goosey but I thought that's what its supposed to be like..? I guess I'm just a muggle? (23 years ago, 28-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)

I just received today the Consumer Affairs package to send the defective pieces back, so I will keep everyone informed as to what happens. But I still think everyone who has these bad pieces should call consumer affairs themselves to get the right (...) (23 years ago, 22-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.general)

(...) You're right! I hadn't thought of that but the troll head does look a lot like The Phantom. I was thinking of it as "another zombie head." The coloring is great but the thing that makes the troll head for me is that nose. Rare enough for a (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)

I just purchased 7 sets of stairs from the 4709 set and all the stairs were OK I purchased 2 sets before that but they were not built so I could comfirm. It seem to me that the majority of bad stairs are in the smaller set. Its totally random. Mine (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.general)

I actually purchased the set primarily for that head too. I've got planz for a scare-crow a (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)

I was at TRU tonight doing some last minute shopping for the nephews when I happend to take a close look at the new 4712 "Troll on the Loose" Harry Potter set. I hadn't paid much attention to the pre-release buzz on the 2002 sets so I was completely (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)

(...) I see that David Wertz reported one in his copy of 4706 ( (URL) ), but also Richard? I must have missed his post to that effect... Too bad it's in both sets :( I had hoped it would only be specific to one... DaveE (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.general)

In lugnet.harrypotter, David Eaton writes: <snip> (...) So for clarification on the findings, 4706 does\can have a random defective part in it.

I happened to notice this problem right off when I built the staircase for my 4706 Forbidden Corridor a while back. It was super obvious because when I spiraled the staircase for the first time, right in the middle, there was a gap, but the rest (...)

(...) From which set? And all non-defective, I presume? For the moment I'm wondering more whether defective pieces have consistant numbers, and whether, within a single set, if any normal AND defective steps have the same numbers...

As I said, I was completely unaware that there was a problem until I actually went and checked a 2nd time. I don't expect that this will be (...)
