Check out the Playmobil Security Check Point on Amazon.com. I only wish they were available for purchase.
From the Manufacturer
The woman traveler stops by the security checkpoint. After placing her luggage on the screening machine, the airport employee checks her baggage. The traveler hands her spare change and watch to the security guard and proceeds through the metal detector. With no time to spare, she picks up her luggage and hurries to board her flight!
The reviews are what makes this product page entertaining, but the review from loosenut proves to be the best product review, ever.
I was a little disappointed when I first bought this item, because the functionality is limited. My 5 year old son pointed out that the passenger’s shoes cannot be removed. Then, we placed a deadly fingernail file underneath the passenger’s scarf, and neither the detector doorway nor the security wand picked it up. My son said “that’s the worst security ever!”. But it turned out to be okay, because when the passenger got on the Playmobil B757 and tried to hijack it, she was mobbed by a couple of other heroic passengers, who only sustained minor injuries in the scuffle, which were treated at the Playmobil Hospital.
The best thing about this product is that it teaches kids about the realities of living in a high-surveillence society. My son said he wants the Playmobil Neighborhood Surveillence System set for Christmas. I’ve heard that the CC TV cameras on that thing are pretty worthless in terms of quality and motion detection, so I think I’ll get him the Playmobil Abu-Gharib Interogation Set instead (it comes with a cute little memo from George Bush).
The Saitek X52 Flight Control System– I has it!
Developed using customer feedback from our previous award-winning X36 and X45 stick and throttle controllers, the X52 Flight System is the premium stick model outside our Pro Flight Range.
Featuring 23 buttons, three 8-way hat switches and 7 control axes, the X52 gives you 47 basic commands plus the control axes. But when you include the programming options provided by powerful Saitek Smart Technology programming software, which allows you to make use of the 3 position mode switch and Pinkie shift switch, the total number of programmable commands rises to 282!

Trying to figure out which flight system to purchase was a little daunting. Online customer reviews of various systems are either five-stars, or one-star. Very few customer ratings are in between. I knew I wanted a HOTAS (Hands On Throttle And Stick) system, but that was the extent of my wishes. The Thrustmaster Cougar Flight Control System had many great, five-star reviews, but for the extra cost ($204.98 on Amazon), there were a lot of complaints about quality and breakage. After comparing the Thrustmaster reviews to the Saitek reviews, I was confident that the Saitek would be best for me. Not only is it less expensive ($86.49 on Amazon, but I found it for $79.99 at Best Buy), it had more positive reviews, and over all seemed more comfortable (and it is comfortable). I’ve had no problems with Microsoft Flight Simulator X responding to throttle controls, and the controls are easy to program for sensitivity. I will agree with many negative reviews that the profile editor for the controls are sub par, and it’s probably best to get instructions on use through flight simulator.
Next up for me? Rudder Pedals. Should you be worried that a flight instructor may someday give me a Pilot’s Certificate? Nah…

Of particular interest will be an F-117A Nighthawk, Stealth Fighter. The U.S. Navy Blue Angels should be cool, too.
