BY JUSTIN WISE - 11/14/18 10:16 AM EST

The conservative online merchant Keep and Bear is preparing to a sell a Lego-style toy set portraying President Trump's much-touted border wall.

"We are pleased to announce the launch of a brand new line of toys: MAGA building blocks!" reads a description of the toy set on the company's website. "This toy makes a great Christmas gift for your kids and grandkids!"

The company said it is currently offering pre-orders for the set and will begin shipping on Nov. 23. The item, which features "MAGA" and "Build the Wall" emblazoned on the set's box, is being sold for $29.95.

In addition to the wall, the toy set features a President Trump figurine. The box also shows what appears to be a Hispanic person wearing a sombrero.

"Research Institute", "Women of NASA" etc.

So our side has woke equality building blocks, and theirs has racist fear-mongering building blocks.

Colour me surprised.

All they have to do is stack the bricks in a line. Minimal hand eye coordination. Turn them into perfect fodder for minimum wage assembly line work.

I don't know if they have much of a leg to stand on legally but maybe they can do something to keep the MAGAfucks from doing this.

Thank you for doing that. I'm sure they have patents, but Legos have to have passed into the realm of Kleenex by now.
