Got Me A Couple New Toys This Morning...

Finders keepers. Losers weepers.

I wish I adapted this rule a long time ago....think of all the money I would save...

I would keep it until they asked for it back....then I would ask the mom how bad she would feel when one of the other DCK choked on one of the batteries that fell out.....

Just a quick question here....people keep mentioning being worried that the batteries would just randomly fall out. I was pretty sure that like 95% of toys these days have battery covers that screw on, thus preventing the unsupervised accessibility of the batteries. I could be wrong; I don't buy many battery operated toys. But the ones I do have all have screws. If they have screw on battery covers, WHY would batteries falling out be such a concern?

ditto.....plus these two toy tools were the type without batteries and you have to squeeze the trigger things and they make sounds....no batteries required! I also did a random check of everything I have that has batteries and 100% of them have screw on covers so it would be virtually impossible to get to the batteries.

BTW, my kids are having a blast with my new toys!...including the kid who brought them...go figure! ::

Just to clarify, that's not how I feel on this topic, I was helping to define what something else meant.

kids are amazing..... my son age 3 could remove the batteries from just about anything...
Bottom line...personal items stay home....

Okay, now those tools sound really cool! I've been looking for some good toy tools. What brand are they? EDIT: n/m found it in the OP, . I might have to get me some of those...

Yeah, I posted in original post that they were battery operated but then looking at them closer they have batteries but not the kind everyone is thinking. The tools are these. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...&creative=9325
I got the screw drill and the skill saw.....I'm thinking of asking dcb to bring the jig saw tomorrow...totally kidding on that one...but I would like to complete the set.

:whistle: WOW those are expensive! They look really cool though. Maybe I'll get lucky and score some on Craigslist or at Once Upon a Child.
