Dear Never Remove From Box,
I'm with ya on the $75 toy but for different reasons.
The main things needed by a child this age are a bicycle, a pocket knife, and an ample supply of stout string (mason's twine is best). Also needed are fairly loose guidelines on what the child is allowed to do, where they are allowed to go and when they must be home. If you feel the child is not quite mature enough for it, withhold the bicycle; they will likely have a friend who has a spare, anyway. Accessories to these basics are okay but not required.
$75 is a bit much to spend on an action figure (I'm guessing that's what it is). Any such item actually given to a child is theirs to do with what they will. If at age 8 they treat it as an investment and never open the box I would have concerns about them - withhold the bicycle and possibly the string in this event. If you convince them that it is unwise to open the box and check periodically to be sure they don't, it is your toy not the child's. I think most here would agree that $75 would be better spent on hops, malt or a really neat brewery gadget that is
definitely going to be taken out of the box!
Sincerely,
Kid at Heart
.. I noticed that there was no mention of the award winning videos, has your production team started slacking after so many accolades from the home brewing crowd? Stay on their a$$ don't let them screw off when you're up. You make your money by pumping out product when you are on top..... slackers.
