Poor quality from a lazy toy company
I completely agree with many of the previous reviews. Why are American toy companies so cheap and lazy these days? Almost every game or toy (made in China now, not in the USA) is CHEAP and of lesser quality than many of these classic toys when they were originally made. I wish toy companies would either care about making a QUALITY product. Hasbro, do you? Clearly not.
We thought our kids lost 3 or 4 of the balls by the end of Xmas day. Nope! After hours of searching, we finally found them.... stuck inside the hippo's necks (see the two pics I uploaded on the product page). Really? 30 years of manufacturing this game and this never came up as a QA issue??? Again, lazy, lazy companies who want to sell you the cheapest products for the quickest buck.
Second, you CANNOT have the storage cap on the bottom while you play or the game wobbles (again, how did this ever pas QA?).
Granted, the kids love the game. If kids didn't, it wouldn't be around. But, please Hasbro, put a little effort into your brand. I'm really bothered by all the poor quality defects in half the games and toys we get for our kids nowadays. (See my Play-Doh Ice Cream factory review).
