Perhaps my memory is failing me, however, I remember toys being of much better quality whilst I was growing up. Toys now are just plain janky (in this house that totally qualifies as a word). I'm not talking about the homemade wooden variety. It's the plastic name brand genre I am referring to. Maybe that's my problem. We bought a Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head over the weekend and there is just no getting around how cheap they are. Some of the holes are too big for the pegs so eyeballs and arms just fall right out. Others are too small. Good luck getting the Mr.'s ears in. Hard for me, impossible for an 18 month old. And don't even get me started on the trap door rear end...

As Potato Head is near impossible to play with we have taken to just using the parts on ourselves. Ears in our ears, noses up our noses, etc. It's more fun this way.
