Glad it's not just me. It's sad, but when my daughter buys cheap toys with her allowance I've made it a habit of warning her not to expect her new toy to last very long.

A couple of years ago she was really in to The Incredibles. Friends and family all bought her Incredibles toys for her birthday. I swear that every single one broke within a few weeks of her birthday.

My nephew got a toy "guitar" for Christmas. Its built in amp quit on the 26th. His parents returned it and bought a "real" guitar from a music store. There's no chance this kid will ever learn to play as his new instrument won't stay in tune. Once it's as close to being tuned as it will get, chords sound terrible. I guess I don't need to mention that everything I discussed here came from China.
