Defective: the balance mobiles don't BALANCE

I was only expecting stocking-stuffer-quality items, nothing really good, and still they were so bad I returned them. When I first opened the package I was delighted: twelve little boxes, perfect for stockings! But then I opened the first one, and it didn't work: it was a helicopter and the propeller was supposed to balance on top---but it didn't balance at all, it leaned all the way over to one side. Never mind, I opened the second box: another helicopter, defective in the same way. I opened box after box, and none of them BALANCED. Some of them were also visibly bent: that is, an item that was supposed to rest on four legs would be bent so that one leg didn't touch the ground. But visibly-bent or no, none of them worked. I should have read the reviews before ordering, but I got swept up in nostalgia: they looked like the (much larger, much better-quality) type of thing I had as a child.
