Fake news!
Seriously: who’s waiting for this?
Certainly not a runner for non USA modellers I am pretty sure......

What does the Pumpkin in Chief have to do with Christmas. I'm surprised having even this much to do with anything military hasn't made his bone spurs act up. (reason he wants "Space Force" 0- gravity is good for the bone spurs!

What kind of advertising copy will we see for this kit...

"The man who put ten thousand brown children into concentration camps, is depicted here making a White Power sign. To celebrate the birth of a brown child."

Maybe it is intended to be ironic:
It should make US modellers aware who’s responsible for the price increase of imported kits.....

I think it's better for you modelers in the states to stock up on kits because when the tupee in chief sees what Meng wants to sell the kit import taxes will go up by 500%

You may be on to something there. You may have hit on the explanation.

Meng may be worried about upcoming tariffs on model kit imports. So, by releasing this they flatter the President. He loves flattery.

Then they can privately ask him for an exemption from the tariffs.

But how would they get access to the President's inner circle to make such a request? Simple! Hire a lobbyist and have him stay in the Trump Hotel. That's the hotel's current purpose.

Yes, please. As a moderate independent I don't feel the other party had anything better to offer.

Hear hear. Tho' judging by the number of shares on Meng's FB page, it's done it's job as a piece of marketing.

Proud Brit though I am, somehow I don't think a 1/35 Theresa May standing on top of a Challenger 2 would've had the same effect...

First of all your post is completely wrong!!!! We, unlike Europe have no concentration camps. Illegal entry is a violation of the law in any country. They are detained, and sent back. Now you need to see what the concentration camps looked like three years ago. The problem is the children came without parents, and the U.S. tax payer has became the parent.

"the parents are told that officials are taking their kids for a bath, and then, when the parents begin asking when their kids are coming back, they’re told “you won’t be seeing your child again.” .... Harper's Bazaar

"2,342 children have been separated from their parents" ... NPR

"2,000 children who have already been separated. The government currently has no tracking system for parents and children, and no plans to reunite them.".... Harper's Bazaar

David,
Your last post was a total crock of [auto-censored]! You have no idea what is REALLY happening at our boarders, You need to find a better source for your information as none of the garbage you posted is remotely close to what’s going on there. It’s funny how the boys from other countries can comment on how we control our boarders when American troops are requested to protect theirs!

Peace out armorama

Harper's Bazaar is not a legitimate news source; it is a women's fashion magazine.

If people insist on considering Faux News (AKA - State TV) a legitimate news source, we can surely do the same for Harpers, can't we?

Long ago in college I had a professor tell a young female student that she had a right to her opinion, but that unfortunately hers happened to be wrong. People seem to think opinions can't be wrong, but this is not so. Case in point: Hillary Clinton and I have both read Orwell's '1984'. Her opinion was that the lesson of the book was to trust our leaders, the media, and experts. I, like most people, are of the opinion the book warns of an all-invasive and controlling government.

BTW, I've also read 'Brave New World' and 'Logan's Run'. My expectation is that the live show will be a combination of all three.
