This seems obvious in retrospect, but do not hang your wreath on your front door
if your front door ever faces the sun. Within a week the parts will start warping
and falling off, and those that don't fall off will have the clutch power
of Megablocks from the 1990s. I might be able to salvage the large leaves but
to give you an idea of how bad it is I took a photo of the small leaves stacked
as well as they would allow. The more eagle-eyed viewer will notice a slight
bend to one or two of the leaves. Now multiply that by every brick in the set.
I considered getting another and kragling it together but I doubt that would
fix it. It would just contort itself into some odd shape from the parts bending
in different directions or weak spots would form and then it'd snap apart.
Again, in retrospect of course I shouldn't have put it on a door with a westerly
exposure but I did.

I just built this set over the weekend (and my fingers are still feeling it!).
I always try to keep my Lego out of sunlight, so hopefully it'll be OK. Thanks
for the warning though.
BTW It's one of the most boring and repetetive builds I've ever done.
