militaria sets. A stab in the back of every idea of childs play on which
Lego was founded.
Those galidorsaurs are only a very weak coverup for an attempt to cater

rag-headed iranians as enemies to be run over by Lego tanks?
My, oh, my. Whenever I think Lego reached the bottom line they dig the
hole deeper.
