Not only is
this toy
too expensive to give Katie, but it is also an
incredibly
bad idea.
This should belong to some other child. Perhaps

I could imagine a $700 kids' fire engine being listed on -- oh, some site for rich people I've never even heard of -- but on Amazon?
Or is this the kind of thing some parents with five-figure incomes routinely buy their kids?

Well, yeah, it's expensive, but at Amazon prices it's a lot
less
expensive.

That kid would pee his pants from excitement if that showed up at our house.
But, I'd really need to figure out how to get that 3 car garage...

See that would have been reasonable. Not like what his Uncle bought him for his second birthday....

If a toy has to have a demonstration video, it's probably too complicated for the kids -- or the parents.
