At least your kid will at least get more utility out of it than a $20-$100 commemorative coin that isn't made by the real mint. (If we're comparing dumb tv stuff). Especially if you can't afford a gameboy, or don't think it's a good use of budget.

This seems more like over-promising shit that is such a pain in the ass and so expensive to return that you don't bother. Which is basically a different version of the sales tactic for mail-in rebates that they hope you don't cash.

Also how long has 19.99 been a stereotypical as-seen-on-tv price, that's gotta be like $40 current day dollars.

Why did I only just realize that as-seen-on-tv was the original drop-shipping. This made every other obsolete just like the slap-chop made you an idiot for still using a knife to chop stuff.

I did some weed, so I hope this explains why there's like 3-4 comments in my comment.
