Bought it mostly to see what they were all about, but now I think he's going to be a tiny friend for Reini.
The concept is that you dig through the "trash" to find the parts to assemble your robot. It comes packaged in a "trash can" (which would be a good size for 1:12 scale and tinies), and some of the parts are even in tiny black "trash bags", along with a couple pieces of "garbage" (mine had a milk carton and a box of tissues). The warnings pamphlet even folds up to look like a newspaper! The whole concept that you can reuse almost all the packaging as play accessories fits the "build a robot from trash" theme so well, and the toy itself is actually pretty nice. A little hard to out together, and sometimes the head or lbs fall off, but that honestly just adds to the charm, in my opinion.
Noooooo. I'd just promised myself I didn't need anymore mass produced toys!
And I have to save to move out of subsidized housing.
