Unless I'm completely blind, I think they took the post down.

I was just dropping in to see if this had been shared yet.  :)) :)) :)) :)) That gave me the best laugh I've had today!

*EDIT: it's up on Twitter still!

Schleich inadvertently promoted Papo's T. rex and unintentionally demean their own. either that or their PR team are a bunch of idiots who thought that the Papo rex was a CG image on the internet and looked like the "real thing" so they gotta use that.

Now that is a big advertising fail if I've ever seen one  ;D ;D ;D
Does Schleich not even know who their competitors are anymore? Is this how out of touch with collectors they are nowadays? I think, at this point, we all know the answers to both of these questions...
