FAO Schwarz: Pricey toys for rich kids
Revamped toy retailer appeals to rich; for the holidays -- $15,000 toy Mercedes, $30,000 playhouse.
September 9, 2004: 5:33 PM EDT
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - For kids whose parents are loaded, baseball mitts or big wheel cars are just so gross.
So this holiday season, the children of the well-off will get to play in high style with their $15,000 toy Mercedes or their $12,000 tree house -- all courtesy of the legendary, and formerly bankrupt, toy retailer FAO Schwarz.
Although the retailer's famous stores are now shuttered, a new incarnation of the company is going high-brow with an upcoming catalog aimed at the superrich.
Other items in the catalog, a million copies of which will be shipped this week, include: a $9,000 rocking zebra, "starter jewelry" like a tiny $950 diamond bracelet and La Petite Maison -- a custom-made playhouse that starts at $30,000 but could cost more depending on the recommendations of the "professional children's interior decorator."(Click here for a roundup of last year's over-the-top toys.)
"When children are used to living well," the catalog says, "they should play like this."
"Our catalog is very, very different this year," Kim Richmond, FAO Schwarz's executive vice president for marketing, told the New York Times, which reported on the catalog Wednesday.
"And probably the most significant difference is that we do not carry the products carried in mass-market stores, the major toy brands," Richmond was quoted as saying. "It is a new strategy. Our position is about things that are really spectacular and unique that you wouldn't find anyplace else."
While the catalog does contain some spectacular items, FAO Schwarz spokesman Burns Patterson stressed that it still has everyday items, such as $15 FAO Schwarz stuffed bears.
"The niche they are occupying is unique toys," Patterson told CNN/Money, "but there are a range of things. It's not all about the ultraluxe toys."
FAO Inc., the parent company of FAO Schwarz, filed for bankruptcy last year and closed its 14 retail outlets around the country. After attempts to turn things around, the company sold its flagship store in New York City and another store in Las Vegas to New York investment firm D.E. Shaw Laminar Portfolios, which also acquired the FAO Schwarz name and its Internet and catalog business.
Although the landmark stores remain closed, Patterson said refurnished New York and Las Vegas stores are scheduled to open in time for the 2004 holiday season and an online catalog is set for an October debut.

Kind of reminds me of a few years ago when Amazon was selling a Harry Potter toy broom that vibrated and parents were outraged on the effect it had on their little girls while grown women were saying what an amazing toy it was.
Where's that review for the offensively expensive ethernet cable (or was it HDMI?) where people were praising how it changed their life, saved their marriage, and improved their sex life?

5.0 out of 5 stars MADE ME FERTLE!!, September 25, 2008
By J. Breimann (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews
For months my wife and I were trying to have a baby and we had no luck. A good friend told me about the Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable. Sure, I knew it was the best for connecting Ethernet-enabled devices such as printers but boy was I in for the surprise of my life!
When my Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable arrived my wife and I simply removed it from the packaging and placed it on the night table. Before we knew it we were having babies like nobody's business!!!! SO MANY BABIES!!!!! 400 BABIES!!!!!!!!!
The customer reviews are hilarious:
I was a little disappointed when I first bought this item, because the functionality is limited. My 5 year old son pointed out that the passenger's shoes cannot be removed. Then, we placed a deadly fingernail file underneath the passenger's scarf, and neither the detector doorway nor the security wand picked it up. My son said "that's the worst security ever!". But it turned out to be okay, because when the passenger got on the Playmobil B757 and tried to hijack it, she was mobbed by a couple of other heroic passengers, who only sustained minor injuries in the scuffle, which were treated at the Playmobil Hospital.
The best thing about this product is that it teaches kids about the realities of living in a high-surveillence society. My son said he wants the Playmobil Neighborhood Surveillence System set for Christmas. I've heard that the CC TV cameras on that thing are pretty worthless in terms of quality and motion detection, so I think I'll get him the Playmobil Abu-Gharib Interogation Set instead (it comes with a cute little memo from George Bush).
