Overpriced: Dolls and Accessories

I agree with another review that says the set is pretty flimsy, not because of the way it's made but because of the large components that are included be assembled. If a child tries clumsily to adjust something in the mall, the curved part can shift slightly. Parts of banners and awnings are loosely attached to the main parts and can easily be knocked off. It's also very torn. There are multiple slots for balcony railings, but there are only 4 railings in the kit. Using parts of the rooftop means giving up the big square area below to show off all those cool trading stations. The manual mentions where to put the lights on the ceiling only to disappoint my kid as the lights are sold separately (why mention that in the manual?). The only thing I like is that it's not too tiered like I imagined. Anything and everything, not worth $125 to us. That is also the cost of a high-quality wooden dollhouse!

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Big and bulky
