Biggest rip off ever

[Captain_Slick]

My little brother bought one of these today:

Guess how much it cost? It's smaller than a 50p piece.

Go on, guess.

...

...

No?

...

£7.

SEVEN POUND.

I can't believe my eyes/ears. It's not even well made. The company that makes them might as well be raping the children's parents.

What is it supposed to be?

 

[Roadkillv1]

what does it do if it's so small....

 

[Slam62]

it is a rip off, no doubt, unless it is a super smart robot that can do anything.

and more

When you're asleep it will Transform & Butt rape you !!!

 

[Captain_Slick]

That's the best part. So far as I can tell the parts just fold in/out to make a ball... that you can throw at people or whatever.

HOW ARE THEY ALLOWED TO CHARGE THAT?

Is it a modern love egg?

What the hell is it?

It's apparently a Bakugan Trap... whatever that is.

Featuring awesome shapes that have never been seen before, Trap are all new Bakugan that can give you the upper hand in your fiercest battles. When your opponent least expects it, A Bakugan Trap can be your new best weapon of attack. Change the course of battle forever with powerful Bakugan Trap like Scorpion, Zoack, and Metalfencer. 1 metal Gate card and 1 Ability card included.

But... £7? Seriously? It probably cost them 12p to make.

HOW ARE PEOPLE SO STUPID TO PAY THAT?

Fixed.

Toys are the biggest rip-off. The markup on them must be incredible. Even Lego is expensive as hell.

 

[Captain_Slick]

Fixed.

Same thing. The government should be able to set maximum prices for this sort of collectable, faddish, useless junk that's leading the world to ruin. To protect stupid people's wallets and stop business from taking blatant advantage of children's imaginations.

Even then though, at least multiple Lego sets can be rebuilt as other stuff year over year.
