Build those yourself. From what i hear, though, you should avoid the
wagonplate and wheels set until it is clear that TLC has resovled the QC

Eh? Tell me more about this QC problem? I bought two sets of that but haven't
taken them out of the bag. What's the problems?

The wagon plate is supposedly warped. I didn't buy any of these, wagon
plates are for wimps who can't build proper subframes for themselves, so I
can't say, but I digress.

I think we wagon plate users should be offended at that statement, but
seeing how warped (twisted in reality) mine truly were- to each his own. Not
all of us has the money, resources, or experience to build in 8 wide or
whatever, which is what this jab may imply. Hope this opens a can of worms
here. -Harvey
That is, if you set it down on a flat, true surface, one corner sits above
the surface. You can still use it in a box car or whatever but it may
possibly have a long term tendency to loosen the bricks plugged into it.

Not a huge flaw if you are desperate for a plate but unless you are, might
as well wait.

What I heard is that every single one in the production run has the problem.
I XFUT lugnet.lego.direct, we have not had an official comment yea or nay, IIRC.

HTH.

(...) I set XFUT to .fun because, well, <sputter> when you accuse me of promoting 8 wide, why, them's fighting words!!! And not at all suited for lego.direct. I'll see you at dawn, bring your nerfgun. :-) PS I'll have you know, J2 uses wagon plates (...) (24 years ago, 1-May-01, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.off-topic.fun)
