It is flimsy, yes, but overall I think she will be able to play with it, just not the smaller components. the doors are very thin plastic and although I have not played with it the way she will, I can envision things snapping off. At the time that I bought the camper (I bought the camper only) the dolls were not available anywhere at a reasonable price. I refuse to pay thirty dollars for two dolls that retail for less than half of that for the set. I finally looked on the manufacturer's website today and found ALL of the dolls, sets of two and the single Barbiel, all for less than fifteen each. WHY IS THIS SELLER ALLOWED TO GOUGE PRICES LIKE THIS? The camper is readily available EVERYWHERE for less than half of what they are selling this whole set for. Amazon will lose out BIG TO WALMART this year if they allow price gougers like this one to set prices at far higher than you can find elsewhere. THIS SET IS READILY AVAILABLE AT OTHER PLACES, NOT SOLD OUT SO DONT PAY THESE RIDICULOUS PRICES!!!!!!! I am becoming very disenchanted with Amazon and will take my business elsewhere.

Someone is price gouging & in this economy. Trying to keep the spirit of Santa for the children-it is hard on parents when someone takes advantage of that. Set a price a stay with it. Many, many family's this year need the help and staying in a budget is one. Please don't take advantage for your personal gain.

I have been waiting for the price to drop, and finally, I managed to get it today at about sixty-five dollars (without the four dolls)at a local retailer. My daughter already has a couple of Ken and Barbie dolls, and some little dolls so we didn't need the extra dolls. The camper itself is beautiful to look at, but the parts come across as nothing more than flimsy plastic parts put together. The doors on the camper are quite flimsy and I have a feeling they will not hold up to long-term play, especially with many little hands (daughter and playmates) manipulating them over and over. There are some neat features like a toilet that actually makes a flushing sound, etc. <br /> <br />Final verdict - it is a fun toy for imaginative play, but it is certainly not worth paying the inflated price quoted here! There are many stores that are slashing prices so it pays to do some comparison shopping. <br /> <br /> <br /> Rating: 3 / 5 Like many other little girls, my daughter has been asking for this since she spotted it at a local store.

Bishop Tue, 01 Dec 2009 08:24:27 +0000 http://toysohtoys.com/?p=1198#comment-1261 Just last week, I got online to order this product. It was listed at $140. The camper by itself was only $69.99. I ordered it and it arrived today. Now I wish that I had ordered the dolls and came back to do more business with Amazon. Imagine my surprise to see how inflated prices became in less than 7 days time. DOn't think I'll be ordering any dolls now NOR do I think I will order from Amazon again any time soon.
