I don’t see much difference between that set and a toy gun. Am I alone in thinking this?

At least the family doesn’t have to live with that horrific checkerboard tile any longer.

Quite frankly, I believe it’s the kids that DON’T get to play “war” in it’s various incarnates that grow up not knowing the difference between the real and the imagined.

The thing that really disturbs be about this is that it disables a child’s imagination and/or resourcefulness. Everything is already set up [read “destroyed””>. What’s left for the child to create or imagine?

I had toys, but I played longer and harder without them than I did with them.

Joke:
Me – I bought a Barbie and she came with G.I. Joe
You – I thought Barbie came with Ken
Me – She comes with G.I. Joe. She only fakes it with Ken.
