I received my Cypress Trees on Friday (two packages) and all of my trees are
straight. I also agree that the trees are identical (look and feel) to the
originals, or at least, the only two originals that I have which came from
two sealed copies of 7835 (http://guide.lugnet.com/set/7835).

| (...) Woohoo! This is great news! Now, if only you'd offer the absolutly necessary Gray 1x3 brick to your line-up, I'd be extremely satisfied. :) (...) That would be great! Hopefully plates would be included, but I'd be happy with just 1x3 bricks. (...) (23 years ago, 23-Dec-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
