Wow! That was exactly the problem I had! Thanks for the tip. The funny thing
is it ALMOST balances with the back round thing off by one stud, so I assumed it
was the like the click hinges and just not a good design. Actually, seeing how
they took the time to balance this right, it raises my appreciation for the
design. I guess the piece count is a little low for $20, but that's due in a
large part to the 2 quarter-hull pieces. If they used sloped bricks instead
(they would have been tan...that would have been sweet), that would probably be
20-30 more pieces.
