New USA exclusive sets!

It looks like it might be a sticker - if so, and if you have to apply it yourself, you could just cut it in half.  If not a sticker, you could possibly cover the word "ecoliers" with a piece of electrician's tape. 

If it is printed I though of making a custom yellow sticker to cover the whole thing up and print the words in a bigger font.

If it is a sticker then yes I will cut it and order a spare.

I do not know why but for some reason when I read the word "ecoliers" I think of a bus load of kids contaminated with the bacteria Escherichia coli headed for the take along hospital 

I just really do hope this is made in Germany and not China like the Fugly Fire Truck, please Geobra do not make the same mistake twice, you know better  or at least learn from your mistakes and demand the Chinese to make it with much higher standards

Enjoy the pics I posted as long as you can or save them on your PC, I'm getting PM's about all the "copyright"-issue again.

The box of the garbage truck even looks like the chinese firetruck box. The front end of the trucks looks exactly like the front end of the chinese truck.

Does anyone know what it says on the sign board of the bus. On the bottom is says "SCHOOL BUS" but what is above it ? My translator says school bus in German is "Schulbus"  and it does not look like that. The small buses we have only say School Bus and nothing else so I was curious as to what this is.

It's actually a Canadian school bus as it has French as well as English (our two "official" languages).  It's also the same style and colours as the Canadian ones (that have been adopted in the USA).

Same with the garbage truck.

It looks like "Ecoliers" to me, which would be one way to say "school children" in French.  This set may be destined for Canada as well as  the U.S.

Dang it, Heather, you beat me to the punch!   

It looks like the labels and captions on the boxes are in English and French.  In Canada boxes have to legally have both official languages printed on packaging.  Obviously, these boxes are designed for sale in Canada.

I agree.  "You used a copy of my stolen picture!" whine, whine, whine.

I am more than happy to copy them and put them up under my name and if anyone whines about it - I can give them my home address and they can come and talk to me in person about it. 

If they can't be bothered with that, it's obviously not important enough. 

It is ridiculous how people sit behind their computers anonymously and try to act in ways in which are completely counter to what they would be like in real-life.  Sadly, talk is cheap.

lol you're my hero WM!
if they're so worried about their pictures being copied why don't they just put their name on them? or simply they shouldn't post them...
