The guidelines for glue where this: anything shown in the commercial had
to be buildable WITHOUT glue, but we were allowed to glue the models
after they were built in order to move them.
If the kids in the commercial were shown handling the toys or moving
them in anyway, then all of that had to be doable WITHOUT glue as well.
Basically, it had to be truth in advertising about what 'comes in the box'.
These are the US advertising guidelines... Europe's are slightly
different, evidently.
