Let's start with the box, front and back.

Here's the front. The beat up box did not result in an additional discount.

Here's a look at just how tight a fit the adult sized beds are.


By now you might be thinking I'm a big fan of take-alongs. Not so! But they do serve a purpose. I bought this because I have the other 3 take-alongs that share the same mold, and I wanted to round out the set.

After reviewing this set, I can only conclude that this is a family living in the 1800's. Somehow they're attired in modern clothes. They have no modern conveniences. There's a wood burning stove. The child has only 3 very basic toys. If the house had more of a cabin look, they could market this set as "Little House on the Prairie." That is, if Playmobil did that sort of thing!

if the house featured some molded-in detail instead of just stickers I'd be happier.  But I LOVE the accessories!  And thank you for your very nice review!  It actually makes me like it more than I would have without the review.  I've seen this set in stores and didn't really give it a second look because I was deterred by it's simplistic shell.  I agree, the modern clothing seems out of place compared to the house's ammenities.

Thanks for reviewing!! The accessories are great, i would rather place it in beginning of the 1900's but still the modern klicky's are a little out of place.
