Those are just horrible. I think they are out there to lure unsuspecting grandparents into buying it for their grandkids when they meant to buy Playmobil  :hmm:

 :hmm: :hmm: intersting statement.... I agree.

Ugh. I imagine some unknowing soul mistakenly getting one as a gift for a child. And the calls to Playmobile customer service about quality after the box has been tossed in the bin.

Really, the buyer at TRU should be ashamed of putting these on the shelf.

I saw these at TRU not too long ago, and at first glance I was like, "oh, that's new playmo." then a mere second later I realized they were just knock-offs. I don't know how they are in your TRU, but in mine, they are not only next to the playmo, but mixed in!

I would like one knock-off klicky, or klick-off. Just one. And I would have it ravely ripped apart by my Klickies' bare hands then consumed by my playmo vultures!

(runs off to grab red paint, excited about toy massacre, then realize I have no klick-offs. Oh well, there are other days.)

 :lol: :lol: :lol: This is a really great idea for a picture! At $25 for one of these big sets, it might be worth buying one of these cheap sets just for that purpose!

Oh, and yes, it's mixed in with the playmobil at my TRU, too.
