Assebling these damn toys!

It will give the kids a chance to draw on your face with the new markers Santa left.

LMAO! I hope they are washable markers, lol.

I tell you lite-n-brite has sure changed since I was a kid.

 

[NCNitro]

What, it's not a piece of black construction paper, a light bulb, and a bunch of plastic transparent pins anymore, lol?

 

[RCDad]

One of my boys has a cube where you can do four pictures at once, the other has a full art easel with about a 20" lite n brite screen.

 

[NCNitro]

Damn, mine as a puny white box with a lightbulb in it.

I had a Crayon, a piece of scrap paper, and a flashlight.

man, sucks for you guys, my boy let me sleep till 11am today. he got up, opened the few presents in his room, and turned on cartoon network for the christmas shows.

 

[RCDad]

I'm looking around and wondering how long it will be till half this stuff is broken, lost, or thrown in the back of a closet.

Another thing about assembling these damn toys or even trying to get them out of the boxes is the stupid twist tie things that they put on there now? Why do you need 9 or 10 for one toy and then a bigger toy you have 4??? I just dont understand why they have to do this to parents its bad enough the blasted toys have to make sound lol...

Merry Christmas

Those wire ties are a pain! Grab a good pair of wire clippers, and go to them. I collect Transformers, and those things have become my mortal enemies. They put a butt load of them on the small toys to keep people from shop lifting them. Takes too long to depackage them.

Don't know why they need more than just a couple to secure the bigger toys. Not like anybody is going to stuff Unicron down their pants, and walk off with him.

"Is that a unicron in your pants, or are you just happy to se me?"

Fortunately for me, all my friends' kids are grown now. I used to make house calls for several days assembling everyone's toys, bikes, dollhouses, etc.

Seems like everything is packaged inside these plastic clam shells.
How may of us have sat there and tried to rip them open with our bare hands, I know I have. After 10 minutes or so of trying to prove my manhood, my wife gets me a box knife. I hate those sealed up packages.

I got cut pretty bad one time trying to rip open one of those packaged deals.
I think they should make the toys out of the same unbreakable material, and give you an unlimited lifetime warranty.
