Add to that, packaging on children's toys now seems to include masses of wire and plastic all sellotaped together like some kind of terrorist incendiary device

# I got a Tonka Truck JCB thingy for a mate of mine's kid over Christmas
it needed a screwdriver to remove it from the packaging... it was screwed into the plastic reinforced cardboard with 11 screws.

# Ah yes, I had that as well.
Had an impulse buy over Christmas, and blagged a 12" black RC Dalek from Woolies for £9.99.

Scissors, knives, scalpel. All were needed
