So just what has happened to kids toys?
Way back when I was a kid you got a skateboard, roller blades, or the infamous Big Wheel..... You could really hurt yourself on one of those Big Wheels....

Now I really think that this is way too much, a $398.00 24 volt Grave Digger monster truck for an age 3+.........

Now it isn't just the boys, the girls can have there Princess Carriage in 24 volt, where two can ride in style For $298.00 !!!

Now this one, is only 12 volt thats too bad..... sorry I didn't get the price on this, but it does come with a microphone!

Then there is the 12 volt Barbie camper.......

Now I really think that someone has way too much time or money on there hands. I just cannot justify a $300.00 to $400.00 electric toy for a three year old child.

I know times have changed, but I remember my first car was about this much.....

I wonder if you can charge one of these at a Tesla fast charging station, and no you can't charge up your grave digger with my solar power :)

Just in case you thought I was picking on the solar guys....... This computer is running on my power! @silvertop

I remember when I was a kid, I was lucky my parents got me the Easy Bake Oven I so desperately wanted! I can't imagine it was much more than $15 dollars or so, but to pay $300-$400 for a toy that most likely won't be remembered by this time next year? What are people thinking! I believe in giving your kids a good Christmas, but really, how long does one of these last? And then, what do you do with it when it breaks, because it probably will? I'm sorry, but I can't imagine why anyone would fund the retailers by purchasing one of these! I will now get off my soapbox, LOL! Thanks for sharing and have a nice day!
