Wow. Those ARE bad. Are you sure you didn't get hold of some McDonalds
advance planning stuff? Those look like something you get in a Happy Meal,
not something that has anything to do with building. Sigh.
However, remember that Lego has had a line of non building stuff for tiny
babies for some time. Maybe they see this as a logical extension of that.
But these "racers" are just so boringly unoriginal.
Well, you can be sure that Milton Train Works will never be using any of
those parts for anything.
