Micro-Machines: Stunt City - aaargh

[willow2]

Is it just me, or is this toy a nightmare to close? Talking of nightmare toys - why do they all have so many blxxdy little bits that get everywhere except where they are supposed to be? Bah humbug. Nominations for biggest pile of plastic cxxp now open.

I will ask ds1 and get him to explain it - you have to take some bits off

32 piece tool set
32 pieces not including thousands and millions of nuts and bolts.
Worse part is, was gift from doting granny so cannot be ungrateful. maybe she is getting her revenge for having to tidy up after my lego all those years ago.

All the bloody plastic crap my kids have amassed over the last week...I wish relatives wouldn't bother rather than buying cheap rubbish...

Ungrateful cow aren't I???

a littel harsh!!

It is quite overwhelming isn't it?
I agree, really don't bother, or give the money you would have spent to Barnados or save up and buy something they really need.

What an ungrateful mare I am!

ds3 got cash(he is 9 months)

Exactly suzy. It might be harsh, but my (tiny) flat is being cluttered with stuff we don't need and will probably be broken within a few weeks - what with a doll which looks more like a bloomin blow up doll, a dolls high chair which keeps falling apart, about 10 million cars for ds, a whopping great fire engine on which the ladder has broken, a cheapy plastic dolls house (WHERE exactly is that going to go???), several sets of felt tips (which have had to be put away, along with all the others as dd writes on everything otherwise) and colouring books....need I go on???

I know I sound ungrateful. I appreciate the thought, but to be honest in a lot of cases I don't think very much thought has gone into it....Oh, I don't know, it's just very frustrating.
