Can anyone else confirm that the new cypress trees are no worse than the
older cypress trees? We could probably just accept Maggie's sole opinion on
this, but I'd like to hear it from someone else too. [Maggie's *just* a
girl, after all, so she may not be as uptight about it as us guys might
be...=oP]
I am certainly not above just bending them back a little the other way to
straighten them out either, as someone else has suggested as a solution.
Does this work for any of you others?
I have no problem faulting Lego Direct/TLC for bad quality control; but if
the new batch of cypress trees is neither better nor worse than the old
cypress trees then all we can cry about is how they haven't improved their
plastic formulation for these foliage elements -- and that's a different
complaint altogether...
I mean, let's be fair about the matter. Right?
