Dodgy image on box of 3126
« 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 ???

I think it happens from time to time that they make the box with a prototype.
Maybe the black hitch was still queued for production so they had to take the red ones for the pictures...

I think it's a black hitch with blood on it, time for a DNA test, bring in Dr Temperance Brenner and Agent Booth

You are right! And it looks like the klicky tries to wash away the traces with motor oil...  :D

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.
