A few caveats:
I am only posting this here because this is the only forum I find
worthwhile, I know that this post is extremely irrelevant to Lego.
I admit to a certain supercilious attitude regarding other toys because of
my view of the natural superiority of Lego.
I had to tell someone and I figured that people here actually care about the
quality of toys.
That said, has anyone noticed how truly awful, I mean how absolutely
heinous, how bizarre and beyond bizarre the toy selection for the Grinch
movie is? I only was forced to notice because TRU has them at the front of
the store and already marked down more than 50%, a sure sign that the
populace feels the same way I do. But strange in the light of the dollar
amount the film has grossed.
I have not seen the movie and my opinions about the toys in no way reflect
the quality of the film. But the quality of the toys is below the level
expected from 3rd generation brand name ripoffs imported from 3rd world
nations and sold at corner stores.
Its not even that the concepts behind the toys, what they do or how they are
packaged is abnormal, its simply that they are the ugliest toys I have seen
in a looooooong time.
And that is my rant for today, boys and girls. Thanks for listening. That
is, if you were.
