Playmobil Apple Store playset: April Fool’s joke?

I honestly am not sure that ThinkGeek is pulling the Internet’s collective leg with this one:


I mean, I’m about 95 percent sure this is a joke… but I wouldn’t be surprised if it weren’t, either. Look at the little tiny iPads:

Perfection!

The optional “line pack”:

No, no, it must be a joke:

Awesome Mini Apple Store Tugs at Your Wallet

Stylish technology nuggets made by Apple… we just can’t seem to get enough. From iPod, to MacBook, to iPhone, to iPad. Even if we laugh our way through the announcement, thinking we’ll “never buy an overgrown iPhone”… it happens again.

So when we spotted this amazing Apple Store Playset from PLAYMOBIL™ we were admittedly in a bit of a conundrum. On the one hand, it’s a product designed for children much younger than ourselves. On the other hand, it’s a tiny representation of the store which sells us all the shiny Apple goodies we can’t resist. Then we noticed that the PLAYMOBIL™ iStore includes amazingly tiny iPhones, Macbooks, and iPads. Our resolve began to waver. A quick peek at the miniature Genius Bar and we were feeling a bit woozy. Then we saw the tiny Steve Jobs presenting in the Keynote Theater on the top floor and that was it. Our wallets popped out faster than you can say Jonathan Ive and we plunked down whatever money was needed to own this amazing playset.

Mustn’t it? Yeah, it’s a joke:

Very clever.

share and enjoy
