Due to the discount on this product, all sales are final sale and we will not be able to offer replacement blocks.
The shapes are based on Dutch roof lines, anyone who has been to the Netherlands, Amsterdam in particular, will have seen the amazing shapes.
The shapes come in both the opaque Block gems (solid wood back, not see-through) and the transparent Window gems (see-through block).
As well as that 4 plain wooden blocks are included to help build the city.
The blocks work well together even though they are of different heights.
The sizes are based on 10cm x 2.5cm.
A note on the gems: in some, tiny specks of imperfections are visible. These are unavoidable. There is also a lot of handling that goes on before the actual product arrives in your home, this may also be part of the reason why tiny scratches can be seen on some gems. In working with this product Papoose/Colours of Australia sincerely do not believe this impacts in any way on the play value and it only happens occasionally. Of course, during quality control the bad ones get filtered out. If you happen to get a BROKEN gem please let us know immediately as this is not OK and will be replaced. If you feel you, or your customers, can not deal with these little specks and marks, please refrain from buying this product.
