Back in late August/early September, they did not recognise it as a design
flaw, but simply a quality control problem.
My replacements were identical in design to those in the original set.

I have been holding off from returning my broken replacements, so that I
don't have to do it too often. I want properly redesigned parts next time.

I think I'll give them a call tomorrow.

I know this is a common problem, so a question to those of you that have
also suffered and sent them back. Are LEGO sending out redesigned
replacements or the same part?
