Where Did All The Sturdy Toys Go?
I may sound like a very old person, but toys these days are not the standard they once were. It didn’t seem that long ago that you could keep the same toy from the age of five until you were fifteen. You could drop your wooden toy car from the top of a multi-story car park and the most damage it would receive would be a few minor scratches to the paint work. Do the same with a toy made these days and it almost turns into dust. You’ll need to set aside a good couple of days to pick up all the shattered parts.
Some people might suggest that today’s toys are more advanced and have more technical pieces to go wrong. I don’t buy this however, as some of the more simple toys made these days like Barbie dolls are more fragile than Nicole Richie. Also, think back to when got old train sets as toys, and the intricacies involved with the small parts and mechanics. Trains like these used to be heavy, but they sure were strong. You could make the trains have a head on collision at full speed and they just bounced off each other and kept on going.
So how come toys are not being made the standard that they once were? Unsurprisingly the problem stems from money, or more accurately, profit. There are still some toy makers and distributors that provide good quality products, but they are sadly in the minority these days and most companies are more concerned with getting high volume of products, for low cost and built from rubbish materials.
The solution? If you’re buying for a girl, hunt around for the best gifts for her on trusted websites, where you know you’ll get quality. When buying gifts for him you’re more advised to actually go to a shop to take a look at the build quality. Boys tend to be a little rougher on their toys and so you’ll need to find something that really will stand the test of time
