Title: Dodgy image on box of 3126
Post by: flatcat on June 11, 2010, 07:39:39: Hello Playmofriends :wave:

I was just admiring my newly sorted shelves yesterday (I will post pics later to show you what I've done) and I noticed something dodgy about this image on the box of my 3126:

It appears that they didn't have a black tow hitch when doing the photography, and had just painted a red one to make do, and that the paint has started to rub off with repeat hitching/unhitching of the trailer.

Does anyone else have any ideas ???

Maybe the black hitch was still queued for production so they had to take the red ones for the pictures...

I think its sort of what socrates said. They could of run out black ones and had to start using red ones and painting them to look like the black ones.
