These ridiculous toys are sell at Wal-Mart for over $200+ up to $300+, at Wal-Mart

If you care to look for yourself, normal retail price is still high at $50 but it is exactly just like Jita, the Porpoise is way over priced at over 75 mil for a 1 run bpc, funny, reminds me of that slogan here "eve is real" sure does reflect humans both greedy and dumb.

Its sad that at the same time around the world near christmas some people have only few dollars worth of money for a day to live. While children in other countries go to shop and bother parents over some colored plastic, overpriced of course. P

Where is this world going?

Don't even start me on hatchamils. We're going to get one for our daughter for Christmas but they were sold out EVERYEHERE!!! Local toy shop is sold out and is having a draw for parents to be able to buy one of a limited 12 there getting in stock. As I was saying to friends and other parents it's like Arnold swatanerger jingle all the way to get one. As for eBay and Amazon anyone buying them and reselling them there is charging double the price.

Luckely she has now decided on something else for christmas

Sounds like the hunting around looking for Webkinz or something for my daughter, some years ago. Store clerks would just smirk at me and suppress a guffaw when I asked if they had any. We've got a box of them somewhere in the attic now. PM me with any offers. Smile

It seems like every Christmas there's that one toy that's hyped to hell. I remember distinctly during my childhood there were a few of them: Furbies, Pogs, Tickle-Me-Elmo's, Tamagachis - to name a few.

I'm on mobile, but the item looks to say 2+ as the age range for children. As someone who has two younger children, this toy being a plush would be destroyed and ripped up by New Years.

While still pricey, I'll continue to just buy my kids LEGO. Their value seems to be more stable than the real estate industry, they can build anything they want with them, and they damn near last forever.

What's wrong with this world? I dunno. As I aged, just like EVE, I stopped caring. I only care enough for my child, so that if she wants it, she can get it, because her daddy can afford it, lucky little brat. Whatever I cannot afford, I'll tell her - nope your daddy can't afford it, world isn't fair.

Edit; well just to give a little context to what probably sounded like a d1ck thing to say - I don't dispute world 'should be' fair, or that it would be nice if it was. But I will never teach my child that the world 'is' fair, because it isn't, and the sooner she realises that the better it is. My child is not even a year old yet, but she already is privileged in many ways that millions of other children are not, while ag the same time, there are other millions of children who somehow have more priveleges or luxuries of life or whatever. I'm not gonna hide that fact to her as she grows

Cheers Love! The cavalry's here!

When our kids where young they played with LEGO I had as a kid. Including the LEGO they got themselves over the years, it is all sitting in a box on the attic for our future grandchildren (if any) to play with. They will be the third generation.

Now that is value for money.

Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format. Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......
