What not to waste your money on for the DC this Christmas-

[Sparklingbrook]

I will start, get the DCs wish lists ready to cross them off-

Elefun. Should be renamed Ele IMO.

Golden Coin Maker. Just don't.

Any more suggestions?

[Sparklingbrook]

Ooh forgot Monopoly City.

[givemeaclue]

Buckaroo, a game that lasts 30 seconds

[Sparklingbrook]

What's Kerplunk like these days I wonder? I remember Buckaroo being fab as was Operation give. Having had both of them 20 years later with the DC they are crap. Ditto Mousetrap and Rumble in the Jungle.

[trice]

Couldn't agree more about the Ele.

Can I put Hexbugs in? Pointless plastic tat.

[gloomywinters2]

moon sand worst thing i ever bought so messy and made our skin itch.

[NoobytheWaspSlayer]

Second the Ele-not-fun and Buckaroo. Would also like to add Hungry Hippos, (shit), moonsand (messy shit), and anything made by Vtech (noisy shit).

I have a personal loathing of any HotWheels massive hunks of plastic that warp and don't work after a week.

[Sparklingbrook]

What are Hexbugs trice? We seem to have bypassed them with both DSs.

[TheSmallPrint]

Moon sand
Monsumos

[Redknickerswillstoptrains]

Stupid,rubbish,swear making,rubbish,rubbish,rubbish Doggy Do game.
Did I say it was rubbish.

[AlmostAHipster]

That monkey thing with Velcro arms that says stuff. Twenty five quid I paid for it two years ago and the kids were scared shitless (at 9, 11 and 16 )

Any Richard Hammond sciency sets - ditto bath bomb or crystal making kits - massively disappointing when one is expecting big fuck off explosions.

Any Wii or DS game that's been reduced to a fiver. There's a reason.

[Sparklingbrook]

OMG Nooby you have reminded me of this pile of junk that took up the whole living room one Christmas.

[MikeLitoris]

Fijit.

Just dont bother.

And i should imagine furbys are also a shower o shite

[gloomywinters2]

oh i forgot this baby doll that crawled by her self freaky shit that was got rid of it and this plastic hammer what my sister bought for dd she whacked me in the eye with it.

[LadyBeagle]

Years since I bought for small children but in my experience all the fancy hotwheels tracks and whirly bits were absolutely crap.

[notactuallyme]

I have two furbys wrapped and ready on top of my wardrobe

[Sparklingbrook]

I know nothing about Furbys not they may be great?

[Bunnygotwhacked]

yy gold coin maker plastic shit

[Sparklingbrook]

One coin Bunny. One coin.

[gloomywinters2]

are the fubys thoose owl things what do they do

[R2PeePoo]

Hotwheels definitely. We had the one that sticks to the wall. Hour of faff to get it up and the kids only played with it for ten minutes at a time. The car goes down very fast when it does actually go down. The other 9 minutes and 55 seconds were spent lining everything up and replacing the bits that had fallen off and needed reattaching.

[LadyBeagle]

When ds goes to university next year I'm getting a furby to keep me company.

[Annunziata]

I am still fecking haunted by Furbies the first time round. NO WAY IN HELL.

[RunOrRioja]

Pig goes Pop is shit.
Pumpaloons are shit.
Buckaroo is shit.


Best game I ever bought dd (6) is What a performance. It's ace.

[steppemum]

sorry, but love hotwheels, have great memories of ds and 2 friends building atrack that snaked down the stairs, and fired cars out fo the front door, was brilliant real kid stuff

so I add to the list nintendo, wii, playstation and x-box

I can't afford them , and if I could then I couldn't afford the games, and it they make my ds bad tempered and I hate them all

[LittleFriendSusan]

DS loves Elefun . YY to Mousetrap, Hotwheels crap and Golden Coin Maker. Would also add Zubber, that paper weaving thing and Mummy Make me Better Chou Chou ("Mummy, why can't I make my dolly better?").

Glad someone else remembers Furbies the first time round, I was feeling very old with all the "what's a Furbie?" questions! It wasn't that long ago!
