(...) I am likewise pessimistic about a thorough response. I predict that, if I called S@H, they'd advise me to return the faulty product and await the second run--but that's not really satisfactory. I'd rather TLC had waited and produced a quality (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

I ordered two sets. They were also bent. I'll be pretty surprised if any "de-bending" solutions have long-lasting effects. (I welcome the oppurtunity to be surprised.) It's ridiculous that I should be faced with such a task anyway. I am *extremely* (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) I think it's a combination of packaging and the softer plastic being used. The softer plastic bends quite easily; I'm fairly certain that these went into the bags straight. I'm rather disappointed that they used the softer plastic, too. It's (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

At a $1 each that's a lot for bent trees. Has anyone ordered the (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Some quick math: 1,000 of any Lego piece (not mass marketed and priced minimally like the 3033) would probably cost at least $0.05 per piece, yes? That's $50 for 1,000 of the same piece. I realize that there's been inflation, etc., but that (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) So they make product announcements on a website that is drawing visitors away from their own site? I ask again... does this make business sense? Help me understand your point Richie, you've lost me. :) Regards, Allan (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
