This playset is one of the best purchases I have made for my three-year-old. In the past, when we have been stopped at roadblocks, or when during one of Daddy's arrests, he would start crying uncontrollably. Now, after playing with this for the past several months, he is perfectly docile.

As an adjunct to this product, I would also recommend that you purchase the Playmobil Armed Standoff Playset, Fisher-Price Little People Battering Ram, and the Nerf Tear-Gas Canister Deployment Gun.

Bill of Rights sold separately.

I was pretty pumped to get this model. After my Leviathan teddy-bear burst at the seams and my Guantanamo slip and slide tore into several pieces, I was looking for a petty distraction as durable as state tyranny itself.

Finally, I found the Playmobil Police Checkpoint. It's everything a colorful plastic method of indoctrination should be: mobile, plastic, and filled with red warning signs. I love setting it up outside my house. That way I feel like I have to show papers to get in. I know I own it, but it's cooler if the state lets me in. They know best.

Still, I have a complaint about this darling set. I mean, I'm no curmudgeon, and I hate to nit-pick, especially over such a usefully didactic toy. But I must-

No taser?

What better way to condition your kids to accept the police state and patriot act? Last thing one needs is your kids growing up to question authority!

After searching high and low for the perfect 21st century All-American toy, I alas came across the toy that searches *you*!

Lately, junior had frightened the missus and I over breakfast when he told us his third grade teacher was teaching evolution. Needless to say, we didn't have the money to file a lawsuit against the school. However, for just a fraction of that legal cost we could simply purchase this little gem to help eradicate the terrorist concepts that had been incubating in his head, such as "freedom of thought" or "unmonitored domestic travel". Lately, we even started setting this little playset up on his pillow as an alternative to money after he lost his baby teeth.

He cried when he woke, but it was a lesson well-learned. Where is your tooth fairy now, Junior? Where is your god now?! Thanks Playmobile!!

This toy lacks the realism for my children to play.

It has no Brown or Black figures to stop at the Check Point

My son is unable to "randomly search" no one (he knows white kids don't carry dope).

It lacks both (simulated of course) crack cocaine and/or heroin that my Little Police figures can "find" on the little Brown or Black figurines

In addition, it lacks a Breathalyzer my son can use to set up "Random" road blocks at 3 a.m. down the street from the local Pub.

I'll wait on the expansion pack that includes Leroy the Guilty until proved Innocent Lamont and Rodriquez--I'm here legally but left my Green card at home--Lopez.

When I first saw the $99.99 price tag for this toy, I thought it was a tad overpriced. But then when I saw that it was manufactured in China and made with only the highest quality toxic lead paint, I just couldn't resist!

What with the War on Terror escalating to the Red Level any day now, I think it is so important our children learn how to surrender their freedoms and civil liberties at the youngest age possible.

If only I could have had this educational toy to play with when I was a child, I wouldn't be asking so many unpatriotic questions that no one in the government seems to want to answer, like:
-Why are we still in Iraq and exactly how do we win an occupation?
-Since when did it become okay to have unconstitutional wars?
-How was the 342-page Patriot Act assembled so quickly when it usually takes the government years to do anything?
-Why wasn't the government in nearly as much of a rush to investigate 9-11 or even intercept the planes or try very hard to capture that wascally wabbit Osama?

What's really great about this toy is that it's totally portable and easy to pack up and transport when you're in a hurry -- like if we ever get invited to one of those camp resorts we've heard so much about (I think they're sponsored by FEMA). Highly recommended for all ages.

Both of my sons enjoy combining this playset with their other Patriot Act domestic obedience toys. The next time I'm visiting their grandparents I'll look for my old Apartheid Playset, the kids will get a kick out of that one!

Blatant social-engineering, designed to inculcate/bind our children through play.

But the depths of this collective ruling depravity are almost inconceivable: Humanity is being shaped and culled like a herd of cattle in the direction towards two castes of humans: power-elite, and inculcated, retarded, subservient workers. Not much room for the individual liberty message here:

"Gradually...the congenital differences between rulers and ruled will increase until they become almost different species. A revolt of the plebs would become as unthinkable as an organized insurrection of sheep against the practice of eating mutton."

From 1953, `The Impact of Science on Society' by Lord Bertrand Russell, noted Fabian Scientist/Socialist/Mind-twister.

This "War on _____" (insert psyop flavor of the decade, ie.drugs, terror etc...) are instrumental in the erosion of our civil liberties for the creation of a control-grid, which is a tangible aspect of the 'Scientific Dictatorship' that is being weaved around us daily.

Jane/Joe Six-pack: "Bad Boy, Bad Boy, What You Gonna Do?..." Hopefully pass on this one.

I can't say enough about this toy, what better way to indoctrinate -errr I mean "educate" your kids on how to behave in the US of today.

Why in just over 10 minutes of play my 3 year old was kicking and beating his other dolls as they failed to slow down fast enough through the checkpoint.

The set lacks for realism as the officers are equipped with sidearms, but with no tasers or nightsticks. I hope Playmobil comes out with an accessory set for this soon.

We are really looking forward to the Playmobil Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib play sets for the next level up.

Why little Martin is goose stepping already, how precious.

This mixes well with other sets to create God-knows-how-many combos of FUN!

I bought this for my son, and he enjoys combining it with the Palestinian farmer set. It brings a tear to my eye to watch him pretend the police are Israeli soldiers - securing peace from those hostile, terrorist, Palestinian farmers!

God bless the USA, Israel, and Playmobil!
