(...) Hate to burst your collective bubble guys, but these trees are exactly like the old ones AFAICT. I have one from my son's town alongside a package of five new ones, and there is NO difference (other than the slight dustiness and faintly (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Ok, I just popped open a MISB 7835 to look at a pristine original Cypress tree. It does not appear to be bent, but most certainly is of a softer plastic than a handy pine tree. Frank (23 years ago, 14-Dec-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

Hi, (...) Funny that... I also have a 7835 though I only got it MIB, not MISB. In any case the cypress tree that came with it is slightly bent giving it the windswept look.
