 | | Anyone else notice the stair problem??? —Doyle Nelson
|
| | | 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)

No else has complained yet, but when you think of it, How many people would notice with only 1 set. Especially a kid who was (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)

| | | | 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)

The ones with the groove pointing toward the triangle are the ones that really only work, by placing them 180 (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)

| | | | | | Hmmm, I am not really sure what you are getting at -- all I see is that some of the stair elements seem to be designed to stack with slightly different rotations, either slightly left or right. This discrepancy doesn't change the utility of the (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)
