So I’m at the Dollarrama this evening, perusing for paperclips with the missus,
when I happened upon this--
“Star Soldier Gaaki”
Now where have I seen this before?
Oh right--
Set 4868 - 4868 Rahaga Gaaki
So wasting 1 dollar (and it really was a waste as we shall see), I bought it and
took it home
First the good bits--
None
The bad bits--
The picture is a direct rip-off of TLC’s artwork
Even the ‘container art’ is all TLC’s, right down to the ‘Bionicle Text’ on the
spinning ring--
The actual flying ring in the set has no such text at all--
And is extemely poorly molded.
Along with these parts--
Even the parts that didn’t look like they were part of a dog’s breakfast didn’t
fit together well at all--joints were eitehr too loose or too tight.
But I prevailed and finally got the thing together--
The spinning disk doesn’t work well at all, and the rest pretty much equally
sucks.
So a ‘heads up’, TLC. The only information on the container states “Dollarama
H4P 1M2 China” (surprise) and on the instructions it says ‘CAN XING TOYS’
That’s all I found.
Hope you can use this information to get these guys to stop making direct
knock-offs.
