Boggles my mind how these knockoff companies invest tremendous time energy and money to launch quality products, and come up with these bizarre sounding names. Any native english speaking 5 year old could come up with something better.

Just got my first ever "Wants to Return item" for not as described Minifigure.  They even sent a picture of the knockoff Minifigure on a $50+ sale.  I sent them back I can't accept this return because its not the one I sent you.  I attached the picture from my listing as you can clearly see the difference.  Interested to see what happens next.

I received mine today.  I had also ordered 3 of the 6-pack Series 26 minifigs boxes from Amazon.  Stark contrast.  Amazon's minifigures cames in a soft "paper bag" mailer.  The Hot Dog Stand came in a very nice double-walled box.  Opening that, I found the set was boxed in a decent-sized clamshell box.  I had expected something akin to a $20 LEGO box and received something closer to a $70 set.  Although a little smaller, packaging was just like the old Big Bang Theory set or the Yellow Submarine set.  Solid.  And for some reason, I thought that they were shipping the freebie without lights.  Not so!  Light kit was included.  I looked through the instructions and they are not only easy to read and understand, but offer the perfect lighting and contrast to be able to tell the different colors for even these 64 year old eyes.

If I had paid full price for this set, i would have been pleased.  Free made it killer!  i can't wait to build it and put it beside F.O's Newsstand model.  Thanks @Pseudoty for the heads-up!
