[quote=Anonymous]We got a massive (sized) toy for 4 yo DS's bday from the ILs (shipped, so it came with a gift receipt) that just didn't fit in our small apt. We told DS that it was a very nice gift, but showed him that it wouldn't fit where he stores his toys. He was initially sad but we explained he could go to the store and pick out another toy that would fit in his toy area. Went to toys r us where he happily picked out something new.

Of course DH told his parents relatively nicely what happened, then had them video chat with DS who was happily playing with his new toy. He thanked the grandparents for it. Not sure how offended/upset they were, but the upside is that they now ask if they are considering a large gift, or direct DS to smaller sized toys when they are in the toy store together. So, glad we stood up for our family's needs.

Regarding the plasma car specifically, FWIW,, we do have one and it is a favorite of DS (going on 3 years now), his friends, and now his younger sibling. [/quote]
