However with online, you can browse by category, search by keywords and read reviews about the game. At some site, you can even view a demo version of it. It makes online shopping more fun and hassle free.

If my kids see these power wheels, they would pester me to let them ride or get one for them. Yes even my little girl. Every time she goes to the mall and see this smaller size vehicle for rent, she will ask me permission to let her ride. Once in a while I will give her and my boy a treat. However, they never get tired of it until I ran out of money.

Maybe if I am out of job, I would invested on these big wheels and rent it out to kids. It is so easy to earn from them. And parents cannot resist the pestering of their child. It will be good business.

This generation of children is so privilege because the market has created lots of educational toys for them. Parents are willing to lavish their children with different toys. Believe me, most household today have loads of toys that can filled half a storage room.

I must say that some of the creative toys are effective in helping children to learn while they are young. It doesn’t have to be expensive but something that can help increase their motor skills, knowledge and increase their vocabulary. Some of the educational toys such as learning laptop, scientific kits, shape sorter, magnetic ABC, doodle pad and electronic reading system. You can browse buy.com for more educational toys and you may want to purchase them for your child’s next birthday.

Guess how much this baby cost? Yeap, it is the hard to find Bumblebee Transformer. It costs RM350. Even got scolded for touching it. One of them, when press it speaks. There was one smaller version that bundled with another transformer that cost RM129.

I asked the owner who was an old guy whether he can sell it separately. He was arrogant to tell me that even if he sold separately, it will cost me RM120. He told me Bumblebee is the most expensive transformer around. Someone disputed that in the shop. Hey I can get it for USD9.90 from Hasbro.com which is only RM30.

Wow, if I export a few in, I can profit 300%. Good business eh? By the way, the whole shop was filled with figurines of super heroes like fantastic 4, superman, transformers, iron man, gundam and others. There are really expensive. *roll eyes*

I got myself a 4×4x4 Rubik’s cube. I was eager to solve it and browsing through the web for solution. If you want to search for the solution, go to YouTube. It has live demo. However I think some of the teachers talk too much.

I managed to solve it within 30 minutes with the first try. Maybe it was beginners luck. Second day, I mixed it up and I started having problems. With the 4×4x4, there are parity issues which 3×3x3 doesn’t. Anyway, formulas must be used for those parity issues. It takes more practice for me to remember those.

In order to solve a 4×4x4, you need to know how to solve a 3×3x3. Now, anyone wants to loan me a 5×5x5?

Tips: Here is a good website for solution http://pjgat09.gotdns.com/old/cube4java.html

A friend of mine sent me this email and would like to alert you parents out there. Mattel recalls high lead toys. If you have bought any of those toys, return it and get your money back. Last time, I so wanted to get that Barney phone for my children, fortunately I didn’t.

Three toys affected are Barney Best Manners Phone, Sing ’N Play Alphabook and Giggle Gabbers. The toys were recall because of excessive lead found in the paint of the toys. We really have to be careful when buying toys from China. There is no way for us to tell if something like this happens.

The toys ranges from Star Wars, Lord of the rings, all action figures like Superman, Spideman, Ultraman, Batman, Incredible Hulk, Toys Story, Chicken Little, Barbie, Disney Characters, Harry Potter and some horror characters too.

As usual, Emily and Tim enjoyed the place. One set back about this museum is that it has so many toys, so tempted to take and play with it, but you can only see and not touch.

Enjoy the pictures:

The End

After having children, I have started collecting McD toys for them. RM5 for the cost of meal and toy. My hubby and I eat the meal and they play with the toy. Someone once told me that McD is not selling fast food but a big chunk of their revenue comes from selling these Made In China Toys. Not sure how true.

Last time, I am sure you remember the craze of those lovely pair of bears where people fight over it. At 7am in the morning, there is a long queue outside of McD to buy those bears. There is one grandfather who queued early in the morning, bought a few cups of ice cream to get those few bears for his grand children. How loving and sweet. I don’t mind a grandpa like that.

Then came Hello Kitty, Pooh Bears, Snoopy, which didn’t sell, as well as those lovely pair of bears. I wonder what next?
