Would you buy one of these for your kids (if you had kids) The are actually Legos modify by some guy. He also sells ones dressed in Nazi uniforms. EDITED TO ADD: I looked at the firm's website and he is sold there as "The White Bandit". It seems that its the newspapers that have called him Osama Bin Lego.
Tuskin Raider torso. The white headpiece is from a bounty hunter from Jabba's sail barge. I've never seen the rocket launcher or the machine gun. Are they from Indy Jones? The grenades are terrific.
I was looking through the forums at Brickarms. It seems that people there are upset at the article that appeared in the Sun. However it does look like they has been an increase in sales in the last day or so.
The point of kid's toys is to allow kids to roleplay their way into being adults, censoring their toys wouldn't help them become better adults -on the contrary actually. -But I wouldn't go out of my way looking for a toy like this unless it was for myself or on someones list…
Totally cool. Can't see anything wrong with kids playing with these (provided they don't do anything dumb like choke on them). Children playing with toy guns and so on has been going on forever. I played with them and it never did me any har... ... OK, I'm not the best example, but you get my drift!
My son has all those pieces from Lego sets (except the hand grenades...don't know where they came from) Yes, the rocket launcher and machine gun is from various Indiana Jones sets.
No, I wouldn't buy them for my niece or nephew-- there are plenty of better presents than guns and crap like that.
