This toy isn’t a pretend cash register though, it’s just a motor skills training toy

You are correct! :)) I'm a wee blitzed and was sent on a diatribe:))

And, yes, I've seen other such examples (I call them "variety decks"), which are useful, indeed! But you could do that with a set of Legos, for instance, and you'd not only have the thing, but the possibility of creating a lot of new things. But, of course, we all know Legos are not exactly cheap, so back to Capitalist hellhole.

I guess my ultimate point was that toys made by adults are pretty lame most of the time:)) That was a rollercoaster for me=))

Or maybe they're just lame because I'm perceiving them through the lens of a jaded adult, I dunno...
