THE MOST EMBARASSING products from K-Line I have EVER SEEN--YUCK!

[Big_Boy_4005]

I got their catalog in the mail, opened it up saw that junk and wanted to puke!!! I think it is ridiculous, and in bad taste.

It can be viewed three ways, one mocking Saddam and Osama, two mocking George Bush, and three mocking the military. I don't mind the first two, they deserve it, but it strikes me as somewhat of a backward salute to the military.

I kind of feel sorry for the people in the military and their families, as I view them as the real victims here, being sent on a fool's errand, by the fool in charge, at the taxpayer's expense. And for what, the resolution of a Bush family vendetta?

I may have just gotten into political commentary, but it isn't any worse than what K-line has done with these trains.

I don't buy or own ANY K-Line products for the reasons outlined in this post. This is some of the most disgusting satire that I've seen yet. The communists couldn't have done any better!!! It's K Lines right to put out this offensive garbage out but just as much my right not to purchase it. It will be a cold day in hell before K-Line get's any of my money. I say buy from a reputable wholesome manufacturer like Williams.

Trash if you ask me. I was in laughter and then amasement. K-Line is headquartered in NC but NO ONE from NC would have designed these. Well maybe, someone in one of our state mental hospitals.

[?]Coming in what will be a very nasty election year, I don't see the value in these items except to stir up emotions on both sides. As to the "Dr. Strangelove" reference, it was "Slim" Pickens who rode the ABomb down waving his Stetson. Dr. Strangelove was Peter Sellers and was modeled after Henry Kissinger.

fun with your trains, I am very sorry for you. Also, they might be collectable someday.
Now, If you will pardon this Unworthy Doctor, I have to get back to my dungon and
torture my guest( I am showing him bad 60's & 70's reruns non stop!!!) I remain the

Fun is one thing---Clifford the big red dog, Mickey mouse, etc...This is just in poor taste. As for the collectible-ness of them, that is what they are counting on. You can keep em. Own the FREEDOM TRAIN if you want a collectible.

It's cheesy. But at the same time, the cars have a double meaning. The first meaning is the obvious one. The second meaning is "President Bush as Cowboy".

I suspect that there will be a non-factory variation of these cars, with the order of the figures reversed. :)

Personally I think that they are interesting. Possibly a collectors piece down the line...

My family members and several teachers at school got a kick out of them. It is kind of cheesy, but an interesting car altogether.

The first thing that came to mind when I saw Bush riding the missle was Dr. Strangelove. I agree that they are on the fringe of good taste but I got a laugh out of them.

Have you guys seen the new K-Line "catalog?" Have you seen the Bush figures in the tank, on the missile and horse chasing Saddam and Osama in petal cars and flying carpets? What the BLANK is with this? I am as patriotic as the next guy, but this stuff falls just short of say....painting an American flag on the shaved rear end of a donkey!

That stuff has got to be the most embarassing things I have ever seen. Are you all familiar with the Johnson Smith joke catalogs? This stuff would be fitting for them but not a "professional" company such as K-Line.

All I can say is that the next time I groan that there are no BATMAN and other Super Hero related cars and accessories, I don't expect any of you guys to complain to me! Not after seeing this assortment!
