Doyle: (...) Amongst my elements for the spiral staircase, I note that there may be two kinds of stair elements: one with approx. 1/2 the overhang of the other which is itself quite wide. I am not sure that this is a defect per se, as I am pretty (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)

Hmmm ... you are right - the year completely slipped my mind. D'oh! I was going strictly on price here. How about: Snape's Class - (URL) not that expensive and it has a good number of elements. -- Pawel (23 years ago, 17-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)

Hello, I purchased a large order from several people of Harry Potter Light Gray stairs. Upon building I noticed that some of the stairs overhang the others. I then observed that some had different grooves than the others and only worked when placing (...) (23 years ago, 17-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)
