Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
It is as I feared. I was gonna order a whole bunch of these, but now I am
tempted to wait for the second batch instead. What will I do with a bunch
of bent trees? At a $1 each that's a lot for bent trees.
Has anyone ordered the globe trees? Are they likewise shoddily manufactured?
I'd like to see a response from LD on this critical quality control issue,
but I somehow doubt I shall get it.
Dave!, have you tried anything to correct the trouble (blow drier, etc.)?
Does it appear to be an issue related to packaging (that the trees are
packaged so tightly that the trees bend under the stress)?

| Well, I received my modest order of 20 trees and, like Huw mentioned previously, they all show a pronounced bend along the trunk. While I agree that this can impart a nice "wind-swept" appearance, I am concerned that these are in essence NOT the (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
