From Chinese Lego clone maker Xipoo, it's the....well...I suspect that what Google Translate rendered as "Tribute to the Retrogrades" wasn't what was intended.

But it's their COVID-19 response building block sets.

We have:
Set XP93216A - Negative Pressure ambulance.
Set XP93217 - Set of Four smaller sets. (Checkpoint, medical vehicle, military vehicle, and researcher.)
Set XP93218A - Ilyushin Il-76

First off, XP93216A - Negative Pressure ambulance



Then, XP93217 - Set of Four smaller sets. (Checkpoint, medical vehicle, military vehicle, and researcher.)



And last, XP93218A - PLAAF Ilyushin Il-76



And their timeline. These were translated from Chinese to German, and then to English, so it may be a bit....wonky. (Translations via lepinboard.de)

Not really a covid toy but I've been playing Animal Crossings since the original shut-down. My avatar is living on an island surrounded by cute animals and I (my video game I) spend my time fishing, catching butterflies and snorkeling.

All these treasures can be sold for coin which can be spent in the stores, one of which sells face masks. I thought that was a nice touch.

Although I love the game, I feel kinda bad I've covered my island with houses, stores, campsites for visitors and a water park. I wonder if any of the other gamers feel bad about destroying a pristine environment.

If you mine enough gold nuggets, you can build a gold toilet. Can't guarantee that's to troll trump, but I chose to believe it is so.
