Toys Basketball Game
Hot off the trail of the Pocket Basketball Game, here’s another basketball dollar store toy, the Toys Basketball net and ball. No, it’s not a mistake, it’s actually called the Toys Basketball. Sorry, I’m going to have to ruin this for you already. This is the worst of the dollar store toys I have reviewed so far. Yes, it’s even worse than the New Concept Bike. At least the New Concept Bike sort of worked and did what it was supposed to do, I think.
The Toys Basketball just sucks, not so much for the toy itself, more for what it’s meant to do. I mean it looked promising enough, it’s a basketball net with a ball that’s supposed to stick to a table or window. But, with even more poor quality parts than normal, it sucks. If you want to find out why, keep reading, if it’s enough to know it sucks so you can move on, nows your chance.

Another in a long line of handheld or desktop games is the pocket basketball game. This is a small basketball game that folds up into a handy little rectangular box and fits into your pocket so you can take it anywhere. I don’t really trust it in my pants pocket though. I feel like if I sit the wrong way it will crack the plastic. Would fit nicely in a jacket pocket.

You know, the ones where you tilt the sides to navigate the ball through the maze while avoiding holes. At a first glance, I saw it only has one path and I thought it was the most pathetic version of a labyrinth game, even for a dollar store toy. It was only when I took a closer look that I noticed that it was actually like the 
Anyway, the issue with the magnetic darts is the magnets at the end of the darts were coming off and presenting a hazard to kids who are prone to putting small things in their mouths. This pretty much includes all kids(magnetic darts are much safer than their stabby cousins huh). Although, this is kind of odd since even a toy dart board is not meant for a young child and any child using the dart board would probably be within range of being smart about not putting things in their mouth. But I suppose they might have younger siblings to watch out for.
The frisbee game is “the happy game with a throw and catch”. Actually, it’s just a part plastic and rubber frisbee, but don’t count it out yet! When you play the game “you will get some physical training and boundless delight from the game”. They know what they’re talking about! With the way a frisbee flies, you are bound to get walking in just to get it.
