Jun. 18, 2015 #The World Says# Toys of the rich-better than yours - a podcast by VOE~感谢沈农idea精英汇

V: Hello everyone, welcome to the world says for this week, I’m Value.
L: Guten Abend, I’m your old friend Leonahr.
V: Leo,????????????????
L: A Baymax toy from my newphew. It’s really a sweet gift since Baymax is my favorite.
V:Oooops.
L: What?
V:??????????????????????????
L:You are so old fashioned. ??????????????????????????????????????????
V: Yeah, it sounds really make sense. I can tell that adults really enjoy the Children’s more, especially the rich ones.
L: So let us open our eyes to see what have the rich people done with their toys.
V: To begin with, there is a Toyland for the wealthy. The things we dreamed of as children — the desire to explore the undersea world of Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea or the longing to have the powers of a superhero — are often fascinations that stay with us our whole lives.
L: It’s no wonder, then, that no one really outgrows toys. The difference is that the toys get bigger, better, more expensive and more high-tech as people get older and richer. And no one needs mum’s permission.
V:????????????????????????????????????
L: It’s just so cool. I’m a Verne’s fan. And Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is my favorite.
If I had the next one, I swear I could fly. Submarine: the deep blue sea??????????
The world of deep-sea exploration enchants many people as children. And when they can play it out on their own as adults, many do.

L: Triton Submarines based in Florida specialises in small personal luxury submarines, which run on high-tech batteries and are custom built for each client. The Triton 3300/3 is the company's most popular model, according to Harley O'Neill, Triton's manager of sales and marketing, and is used for recreational diving, exploration, research endeavours and filming. It fits three people and can travel to a depth of 1,006m (3,300ft, hence the name).
V: "It used to be helicopters and now it's submarines," O'Neill said. "Now everyone is asking if you have one." One prerequisite for owning the sub? A superyacht for the docking station, says O'Neill.
L: Value, have you ever dreamed of flying?
V: Yeah, of course, I believe everybody has dreamed of flying though I have acrophpbia. So the next toy is for flying?
L: Yep, and it’s name is Hydro Powered Jetovator?????
Blame Peter Pan but even as grown-ups, many of us still wish we could fly. As kids, we ran down the garden flapping our arms or leapt from a low tree branch in a bid to take off, sometimes even bruising or breaking a limb in the process. In adulthood, achieving that free-flying feeling is a must for some adrenaline-seekers, whether through means like skydiving or base jumping.
V: But take heart. You don't need a plane or bridge to fly. Hammacher Schlemmer's Hydro Powered Jetovator, a flying jet-ski like water craft, lets riders shoot 7.6m (25ft) into the air and corkscrew, back flip and barrel roll mid-air, while hovering above the water. Riders can even plunge a little over 3m (10ft) below the water, while still seated on the craft, for a quick undersea view.
L:?????????????????
V:???????????????????????????????
L: ???????????They just level up Off to the races
These aren't the matchbox cars and electric toy racetracks most kids play with. The custom raceways from Slot Mods USA are painstakingly handcrafted to a client's specifications, including sections that precisely replicate real-life tracks whether that be the Le Mans circuit or the Monaco Grand Prix, said David Beattie, the company's founder and president.
V:The tracks he builds often are anywhere between 3.7m to 9m (12ft to 30ft) long and 3m to 6m (10ft to 20ft) wide and can include structures such as grandstands and features including skid marks airbrushed on the tracks. Depending on the size, scope and detail of the track, they can take anywhere between three to six months to build.
