My grandmother saved all my old Fisher Price little people houses. We have that Sesame Street house and the school house and the house with the brown roof and the farm and the sesame street playground and the bus and (I'll stop! Sorry!). But yes, sigh. I agree with you that the old ones are way way way better than the new little people!Shabbee Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04394669716624628205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31091320.post-61313859444731662672007-04-02T08:42:00.000-04:002007-04-02T08:42:00.000-04:00oh yes Fisher Price and Tonka trucks were everywhe...oh yes Fisher Price and Tonka trucks were everywhere some 38 yrs ago in my living room!sigh..memories. :)NGNaturegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00177418253271097079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31091320.post-12720658897776841852007-03-31T14:45:00.000-04:002007-03-31T14:45:00.000-04:00YES!!

How I long for my old A-frame! I got it when my brother was born, one of those sibling gifts, and I totally loved it. It was so cool, so '70s. I occassionally peep at them on Ebay, but I haven't had the courage to dish out the cash for one.

Was it time to boost sales? <BR/><BR/>My objection to the new set, in addition to your accurate observation that the parents and kids are interchangeable, is that they are all holding things in their hands.

I had that castle (with the big pink dragon in the dungeon!)and that parking garage, as well as a dollhouse that was a A-frame chalet style house - what great toys! <BR/><BR/>The *old* Fisher Price people were SO much cooler than the new ones! I understand they were taken off the market because they are supposedly a choking hazard - they're just the right diameter to get lodged in a preschooler's windpipe. While that is certainly disturbing, I can honestly say that I never remember my brother, sister, friends or me sticking those little wooden people in our mouths! And those weird new chubby plastic Fisher Price people (why do even the parents look like children? it's creepy!)cannot compare to the old wooden people! Not even close!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17490386207787190473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31091320.post-50014888109594387042007-03-29T15:15:00.000-04:002007-03-29T15:15:00.000-04:00OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (SQUEAL!)

That little playpen and nursery set was my favorite thing. It had a changing table and rocking horse and stroller. I loved it! I also loved the little blue girl with the white collar, except mine had a blonde bob. Thanks for sharing. I'm headed to ebay to swoon over Little People.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
