That set seems to be quite the thing for fans of the theme with all of the pieces that it includes.

Peeking in the windows, I see a grandfather clock, and maybe a tea service cart.

well Baron did you get it on Friday ?  :munch:
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

TRU is having a "save 20% when you spend $75" sale, but it doesn't include the new Victorian collection. Also, the TRU website doesn't appear to be offering free shipping under $150 this week, so if a person wanted to purchase only the Victorian set, they'd have to pay shipping. (In my case, that would be over $6.) However, TRU also has the Victorian collection available on ebay where they are offering free shipping.

I'm so close to buying one, but I want to wait to see the interior. Will there be curtains and wallpaper? I don't know why I'm botherering to wait, I'm sure I won't be able to resist, even without those finishing fine touches.

I know I'm being too picky but I really feel disappointed that the sticker for the coach driver's hat wasn't included. It looks very unfinished to me. It's a shame they didn't issue the Oldtimer car in it's original color. The green one is already available in most other countries. I suspect the original tea cart wasn't reissued because it was so brittle.  :hmm:

I noticed this also.  The new plastic used for the wheels on the cart is much more mailable.  It is the same type that they used for the new finials on the dormers, perhaps because the old ones snapped off so easily. 
I think the set although disappointing in a few areas, is wonderful and was a good buy.  :yup:
