Has anyone had success convincing people to not want one... Expand Spent 10 minutes talking my 8 year old out of it. There's a couple of videos out there about how complicated these things are, and how quickly kids are tossing them aside because they're losing interest in them quickly. This is not something for a 2 year old. The 2 year old will just hit it, stick it in it's mouth, and then forget it in a few days. Even my 8 year old though, would not have the patience for this thing. Quote

Expand I inspected the Starter Pack I picked up at Meijer yesterday very carefully as well. Interestingly enough it had double seals on one side, marked with 'WKR'. I believe they opened a previously sealed unit to insert the Supergirl polybag and then resealed that side. "They" being TLG. Mine turned out to be fine btw. Quote
