    Mattel Barbie House using Megos' Wayne Foundation format

    I saw this while walking through Toys R' Us and stopped dead in my tracks. I thought it looked EXTREMELY familiar. The Barbie House looks like it was built by the the same architect.

    The Wayne Foundation is the mirror image of the Barbie House, but it's definitely using the same design.

    I just thought it was funny considering Mattel is now responsible for churning out the new "Megos".

                  Actually, The Barbie Town House came out in 1973. So I think it was Mego who copied.
