I bought a Rubik's cube from a seller on Amazon. I was disappointed to see it wasn't an original Rubik's Cube, but a cheap rip-off.
Despite this, the cube seemed to move nicely, there weren't stickers but coloured pieces of plastic, so the trouble of the stickers peeling off was non-existent.
However, after about a week of solving it again, again and again, one of the centre pieces fell out. It just... fell out.
So I proceeded to pop it back in again, which it did with a satisfying 'click'.
Later that day I realised the piece was started to become loose. It fell out again. On my second time of replacing it, it shattered.
My 5-year old son was given a bag of these at a party and now all the boys in his class have harmless fights with them. I really couldn't see the attraction in this craze, but then I'm not 5.
At that age, children will collect anything, so the manufacturer makes a fortune at £1 per bag for a few plastic figures sold to millions of children, backed up by some marketing and then retires to the Bahamas ...
You could beat the manufacturers at their own game and start your own craze free. Try collecting shells, shiny stones, pictures from magazines, (even stamp collecting was free in the days when people wrote letters, just tear them off envelopes)

This is a classic gamic which I remember being brilliant from childhood. The theory of it is brilliant, load items until the donkey throws them off but this version is cheap, tacky and it doesn't even buck unless you prod it roughly once all the items are on. The items to load are all very poor quality.
The mechanism to reset the donkey is also difficult to operate.
Another game which has been completely ruined by poor production and cost cutting.
Don't waste your money on this version. If you have a very young child 'Bounce Bounce Tigger' is much better quality and works slightly better than this game.

...in Series 2 'Evolutions' - so named because the original 80 Go Gos have kept their basic shape but changed colour and design in every conceivable way in the second wave or their quest for world domination. Like the first series for my five-year-old son these are the next big thing. A packet of three Go Gos with stickers costs only one pound so they fall very nicely into the pocket money bracket. The figures themselves are small, colourful, durable and bursting with individuality and personality. Eighty to collect (plus different colour combinations) will keep him going.
This new album is a must-have. Again, it costs only one pound from the shops and has comic strips this time and fun statistics about how much the new Go Gos have evolved. It also ... Read More:
