I picked-up one of these at the Charity Shop … foolishly assuming it to be some sort of puzzle based on a combination lock.

The Mattel product code is HDV46 if you want to find it on their website

The product description would make even a political manifesto writer blush !

The real masochists might waste five minutes watching this video:

Mine came unboxed and without the discs

… that, and my sheltered life of course, led to my confusion.

.

What a complete and utter disgrace, when these people could be selling things with at least some educational play value.

Sorry … Rant over.

The Salvation Army got a quid off me, so I suppose some good was done.

… and just to illustrate Mattel’s incompetence:

This has appeared in the News

If my post discourages one grandparent from buying anything from them … it will have been worth the effort.
