Default Roof Tiles: Has anyone heard reason before

The saga of my new house and problems continues. I pointed out to the
developer that I was not happy with the fact that some of my roof tiles were
warped. Mine was the last house to be built and I think they built it with
left over materials. Every other house has pristine flat smooth tiles,
except mine. Just to give you an idea this is a picture of a couple of the
tiles

This is the reply I have received from the developer:

" I have been advised that as the tiles are a fabricated roof tile they can
naturally warp with the change in temperature between hot and cold. This
is natural."

Now we are talking about a house that is brand spanking new, and while we
have had a wet summer I don't recall too many extremes of temperature in the
last 2 months, far from it in fact. However, as my house is slap bang next
to the other houses that do not have this problem I am even more adamant
this is just a rubbish excuse. I have asked for the name of the tile
manufacturer so I can contact them myself, but I would be interested in what
other more experienced folk think about this?
