Oct 13, 2018 at 20:44 comment added DaG Your fear is more than enough to save you from being assaulted (not particularly likely) or unduly scammed (possible, but then again these toys are in themselves a scam, since in any actual shop there are nicer, non-counterfeited, and perhaps with a lifespan of more than one hour). I'd steer children and parents toward a real toy shop, or a “cartoleria” or at the very least to a Chinese general store.

Oct 9, 2018 at 10:46 comment added Max @JoErNanO yeah that's what I'm "afraid" of,
Oct 9, 2018 at 10:45 comment added Max @undercat LOL, I'm not looking for a long term toy, just something for the boys to play for a couple of hours to spend off some energy.
Oct 9, 2018 at 7:03 comment added JoErNanO Just to clarify, are you afraid of being scammed, mugged, extorted in any way, whilst being distracted by the sale?
Oct 9, 2018 at 7:01 comment added undercat A street peddler toy will unlikely explode in your face, but may not be the wisest long-term investment... Health-wise, I'd say it's "safe" as long as you don't lick it or put it in your mouth.
Oct 9, 2018 at 6:17 comment added Max @Traveller, It might be me of the parents that will buy it, I will not buy it before asking permission

Oct 9, 2018 at 6:11 comment added Max safe to buy. (will edit the question)
Oct 8, 2018 at 22:11 comment added Traveller Does ‘safe’ refer to the act of buying the toys, or the quality of the toys themselves? Maybe you could just say no to the kids when they ask, or have a quiet word with the parents beforehand.
Oct 8, 2018 at 21:13 comment added shoover This question reminds me of a question about unscrupulous street vendors in Milan and another question about similar unscrupulous hawkers in Paris.
Oct 8, 2018 at 20:06 comment added JoErNanO What do you mean by safe?
