$75 for a little wooden truck? Are they kidding? Not when it comes from FAO Schwarz. Do they really sell very many of these? I wonder. I guess when you sell a $5 toy for $75 you don't have to sell a lot of them to make money. There is set of four, which means you will shell out $300 for all of them. At least this makes spending $30 on an Automoblox seem justified.

Man, This Place is a Real Pit!
I remember when I was a kid and thought that ball pits were the coolest thing ever. I remember my parents screaming as they thought my little brother was lost in the balls. And I remember my mom saying to me “We can’t go there anymore because those are dirty.” This came after the epidemic of trash, disease, drug paraphernalia, etc. was found at the bottom of the ball pit. (the legend that a kid died after getting stuck with a heroin filled needled is not true)
Now, for the unbelievably low price of just $5148 (that's $1800 below the original price of $6949.80) + an additional $544 in shipping, you can own your very own ball pit (syringes cost extra). The pit is 10’ x 10’, which I believe is larger than a few of the rooms in my house. It comes with 9000 balls. Do the math and you have just paid $0.63 per ball, which doesn’t really seem that unreasonable, until you compare it with a few other things:
Save yourself the endless mess, tripping over balls in the middle of the night (and day). Save yourself the fright of wondering what might be at the bottom of that ball pit if you haven’t cleaned it recently. In my humble opinion as a parent, skip this, buy your child a one big ball instead of 9000 little ones and send them outside to play!
