These are some pictures of a sword I got with the new chess set. Sorry for the picture quality I'm not that good with a camra.
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Purpl ... 0_1367.jpgAs you can see I got a sword that was naturly bent.
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Purpl ... 0_1369.jpgHere it shows a slight build of plastic.
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Purpl ... 0_1372.jpgOn the other sid of the sword theres no bend marks.
Hope you have enjoyed this.

Re: Funny Sword
very strange indeed, my little brother got a pirate sword like that in a PotC set except it was bent forward instead of side ways. this and Blaze Ryders translucent bow makes me think lego is having some quality control issues

Re: Funny Sword
LEGO Quality Control is always interested in hearing about these things, and are very efficient at tracking them down and fixing the issue.
If you use the broken/replacement part form on LEGO.com they will send you a replacement, free of charge. All it asks is you give them information on where the problem was found (what set, what the problem is, etc.) so they can fix it.

Re: Funny Sword
Unfortunate, in a way... but still, that's kinda cool! Real swords bent at times, and if I wanted to use a detail like that in a scene, I'd rather LEGO did it for me than make me bend my own
...and that's how Equestria was made!

Re: Funny Sword
I also pulled one of these out of a Chess set. Feel a little silly filling out a form for one little sword when I have a bag full of them (albeit, not exact this color). What's peculiar is that the shortsword isn't even in their selectable parts list.
