DD wants a claw machine toy for her birthday... They're going to be utter shite, aren't they?

[CaptainCarrotsBigSword]

DD(5) has two things on her birthday list. One of which is a claw machine. Something like this.

Ark miido Claw Machine for Kids, Candy Machine Grabber Arcade Game Toys, Mini Vending Machine Dispenser Machine With Music & 10 Dolls and 10 Eggs, Indoor Educational Toy for Girls Gift https://amzn.eu/d/cvUQHSx

Is there any way that these things aren't going to be just complete shit that won't work / will break in three days?

Does anyone's kids have one / something similar?

They're actually not bad. When my late Dad was diagnosed with diabetes, his funny friend bought him one as a gift, filled with my Dad's fave sweets! Jelly Babies! 😆

Just saw your update. Brilliant it worked out! ❤️

This is where I use father Christmas misinterpreting things. So I would get her a grab stick for disabled people instead. At least that's useful (I have one). You can stick some celebrations on a high cupboard and see if she can get some.

I think I'll get one for my boss as a Secret Santa present if I can find a cheap one.

I am just revisiting this thread as thinking my daughter might like one. Which one was it that you bought please?
