(...) Looks like someone assembled the molds wrong IMO. That could explain why there is a 180 degree difference in the notches in the underside of the stair pieces. Simple enough of a mistake to overlook, but large enough to cause significant (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.general)

A couple days ago, Doyle Nelson alerted us all to re-examine our HP stairs: (URL) actually didn't remember a problem building either set, though upon closer inspection, I actually DID recieve "defective" stairs. It's not overly problematical or (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.general, lugnet.lego) !

(...) This issue was an easy fix, and will make the stairs not slide at all. Of course what WOULD have been nice was for Lego to have the bricks where they do not slide. Oh well. P.S. I know what you mean, Pic isn’t necessary Doyle (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)
