Wild Planet Hyper Dash [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging] Review
4.0 from 5
Having purchased this previously, I can attest that the game is a refreshing alternative to all of the electronic toys on the market, but "frustration-free" packaging may not be the best choice in all cases--especially for tots who could use some color and perhaps an illustration to: 1. attract them to the contents of the plain brown box; and 2. to give them some idea of what to do with what's inside the plain brown box. Even in trying to explain the aforementioned to the cooperating adult giver, I found myself experiencing some frustration in conveying the precise nature of the item and justifying the expense of the anonymous gift for the grand-kids. Thinking it over, I'd pay extra for the conventional retail box--at least until modern ingenuity figures out a way of combining an easy-to-open box with an attractive, descriptive design on the cover.
But hold on! There's a solution--sort of--since Amazon includes a picture of the conventional box on the sales page. Simply print out a blown-up version of the picture and paste it on the frustration-free package. It's not a perfection workaround, but at least it prevents the substitution of one frustration by another. What you're left with falls less into the category of "frustration" than "aggravation."
[Let me add that I have nothing against Amazon exacting a "surcharge" on the plastic, neon, "frustration-provoking" version of a product. There are always those occasions when, as human beings, we choose to sin, knowing full well that a price is to be paid.]
