They are selling miniature replicas of the products as "toys" for 40$.

Also all sales are final and any order mistakes or anything is final. It's all Grifting.

They are actually selling the toys, yes.

But that's still ambiguous. It refers to all the products as toys. So is it actually selling the original hardware, like the Jibo, for $40? Do they "work" in any way? Does the OLPC turn on?

No they're plastic toys that resemble the startup product. Not the actual startup product itself. It's simply an item to collect for novelty, not for any real purpose.

I'm wondering it too. If so, it appears that they do not support international shipping. :(
