Who in their right minds...

Biggins · 2008-12-12 16:33:24

Who in their right minds would pay 450+ Euro for a Playskool Dinosaur. I just seen one advertised on the TV for Christmas. It don't walk or move besides a few mouth/face movements and a moving tail. (See here: http://www.find-me-a-gift.co.uk/kota-the-dinosaur-triceratops-from-playskool.html) Have some of us lost all…

I expect more from my vote for Best Newbie. I demand more entertaining threads.

But yes - it's a bit steep.

Back in my day a simple "no" would suffice. Golly, have parents lost all control of their senses or wha'?

Some people just don't love their children enough to buy one. I bet the Mini-Bigginses will make their parents rue the day that they came up with such a feeble excuse not to fork out such a paltry sum for such a must-have toy.

I bet their little fingers are pressing the buttons to call the ISPCC as we speak.

If it could walk I'd buy one, but since it can't Pleo is a better buy.

But the playskool one comes with a feeding leaf!

Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

If you are a fan of Pleo, any of our WowWee Alive animals or the cute dinosaurs on Jurassic Park, then this is the gift for you!

They do realise that the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park killed a lot of people?
