Thank you for the complete review. I was aware of some changed/odd/missing parts from the original 5300 but overall I think it is a nice set, specially for the people who has no part from the original victorian sets. I am particularly happy they have kept the original exterior color of the walls and fence, and too the tiled floor and original wallpapers, but I find strange this mix with different designs, too. To be honest, I would prefer they had chosen another design from the living or dinning room, according to the interior furnishings, instead of the kitchen/bathroom ones from the 5300. I miss the curtains too and a wallpaper for the attic.
I like the rest of the accessories, figures and vehicles very much, especially the characters respect the original ones.
This set is not cheap, and I think a little better effort in the contents would be greatly celebrated by fans around the world, so I would like they keep the original brown wood color in furniture and the original mould for the serving cart, but maybe this is only a question of taste or personal preferences.
I love the packaging, and if this set is released finally in Europe, through Toys'r'us or maybe through DS from Playmobil itself, it would be a good value, even if presented just in bag.
Greetings!
