to be honest if that was the only present the child got it would be better that they got nothing, like I said before out of the 6 of those types of gifts either myself or family have bought for my DD4 in the last year, one was missing a component which made it unusable, two wouldn't assemble correctly because of manufacturing faults and couldn't be played with, one doesn't work at all and one broke within seconds of using it, all have gone in the bin, apart from a few bits like cars/dinosaurs etc that came as part of the set.
All those plasticky toys from bargain places are such a massive scam and they actively target people with lower income who can't afford to buy much for their family, it would be devastating for a child to receive a special gift only for it to break or be unusable through no fault of their own. There really should be more awareness of just how awful quality the manufacturing on some of this stuff is, even the pictures on the box are completely different to the product inside, it really is a massive scam.
One was a monster truck arena which looked great! one of the plastic parts was wrong so the outside of the arena wouldn't fit together to start with, and the bag of sand that came (the picture on the box shows the arena full of sand), didn't even fill a mug!.. to supposedly "fill" a dinner tray sized arena!!.. DD was so excited when she saw the box, and she really tried to hide her disappointment when none of it was useable.. I made light of it but I was absolutely fuming, B&M that one was from, so I've told my family not to buy any more 'self assemble' plastic toys from any of these places as nothing last more than a day, if they are even useable to begin with.
OP is still a snob though!
