So what toys have done your head in through the years and took up a whole day putting it together , For me it was a Spiderman City playset, was all air powered , had to connect miles of plastic tubes to a pump so doors would blow open and cars blow up etc. 9 fucking hours with instructions straight out of NASA son played it for 10 minutes then back in the box till the annual room clearance and off to the charity shop , Barbie's castle was also a Twat to build

I wonder how much money we waste every year on presents that we think look spectacular but are literally never played with and sent off the the charity shop a couple of years later?

Thankfully that was my Dad’s job Xmas eve, I’d check beforehand all the bits were there. My parents and I would be up until everything was assembled, father of the kids would have an early night . We’re past that stage now just batteries to insert but that’s usually done pre Xmas to ensure everything works

Our kids just want money these days , but there is a wave of up and coming grand kids and I just know its going to happen all over again

Years ago one of ours was chosen by a toy company to test a new line of toy. Putting that damn thing together was an impossible task. I sat up really late one night trying to do it. The line was never introduced

We find that even getting the toys out of the boxes they come in are a nightmare. You almost need a full tool kit just for that.

I bought all the stupid put together toys for my son when he was younger (now 29), my daughter (now 9) I’ve persuaded that they are complete rubbish, never look like they do on the tv and certainly never do what they are portrayed to do....she’s a sensible girl and agrees

Tracy Island was a bastard, but my worse was a Micro Machines folding lorry/city playset. Hours of stickers and fiddly little bits of plastic.

Glad my kids are too old for those bloody things now.

That's a great point, that's an hour before you start on some things

Lego Star Wars ewok village.

Actually Lacey did most of it, I got bored after an hour or so.

She loves building Lego, the end result was brilliant and we still play with it

I have a feeling when that time comes that will be my job. I’ll be the only one with a tool box

I helped my friend build one of those hamster cages with all the tubes. We have fallen out once in 26 years of friendship. That was it. The hamster died by new year too.

This year our plan is to remove the toys from the boxes carefully, put batteries in them, then place back in the box and wrap them up. Now whether this plan comes together and works, well we shall let you know! Lol

Under the Duvet

Bought a Hello Little toddler bed as a suprise for when she got back from her dad's.

The pack said it would take an hour. It took two of us the best part of 3hours. If I'd been doing it on my own I would have flung it out the window. There were holes missing and everything.

Bet Joseph didn't have that problem with the manger.

I no longer buy Playmobil stuff, i've got a toy room full of half built Pirate ships, Pirate Islands, you name it, i've got it (half built!).

And if one more piece of that teeny tiny Lego makes it into my house i'm hoovering the bloody lot up and dumping it far far away (in a Recycling Centre).

There and to the left a bit

Anyone who's mentioned bastard bloody Micro Machines already I'm with you!! Thousands of tiny fucking micro stickers that need to be placed at the most awkward angles or in the tiniest places imaginable!!

And don't get me started on the bloody twist ties that you need to undo just to release the cheap piece of plastic tat from the box - all the while being pestered by a five year old that has to play with it NOW - despite the huge mountain of other toys available!!

Or the fact that the screws they use to secure the battery compartment are made of the softest metal imaginable so the screwdriver slot shears and can't be budged!!

I throw the Lego away when she isn't looking. Bad Mother.

Yep, this is me too. I don’t mind putting stuff together. But quite why a doll needs 200 plastics clips, some of which are screwed through the backing board and even her hair sewn on to it, is quite beyond me.

Oh god my sons had those too. I remember the hours it took doing them. I remember one Christmas Eve we were up half the night putting a toy kitchen, garage and some other toys together. Only to get woken up at 6am by the kids with screams of Santa’s been x

notts

Mine was when the Amstrasd 464 cpc was introduced, it sort of competed with the ZX spectrum at the time, well we broke the bank at the time buying it for our kid and then realised there were very few games for it and what there was was not very suitable for an 11 year old girl, we noticed that some of the PC magazines had games written out in them and all you had to do was type in hours of code for each game & save it on the built in cassette.

well, we spent weeks typing in these fecking games

Ah those were the days. I loved my cpc 464 I had tons of games used to buy cheap games from the local tape to tape them and take them back.
