Playset Reviews

My 5-yr-old loves this toy. I was surprised that it really works. I feared that the dominos wouldn't stay up or would get caught in the truck, but it works great. A great introduction into cause & effect without all the work setting up regular dominos. Definately a fun toy to get or give. I'd say the target age group would be 3-6 yr-old Boys.

Very ingenious toy. Toy works well on smooth surfaces. Does not work well on tile floors. Would be really nice if the truck could be controlled by using a remote.

My boys got this for Christmas and it is such a fun toy! As a matter of fact older kids find it irresistable too. My nephews who are in their twenties layed right down on the floor and REALLY got into it too. A+ for this toy!

My son loves this toy (he's [...]), it allows McQueen to do many activities inside Mack. It is thin plastic though and seems like it would break easily if it fell or was thrown. As it is, sometimes when he plays it, pieces come off easily-though they pop back on quickly. If you have infants at home, I would steer clear of this toy for that reason. If it were a little sturdier, I would have given it 5 stars.

Got most of the Pixar 1:55 cars before the movie came out and hesitated on Mack because of the $[...]price tag. Finally picked it up and my 3 year old loves it. Mack adds some really nice play value. I removed one of the car wash arms so he would close easier. Mack comes off from the trailer easy and while I didn't think he'ld hold up he's proved me wrong by holding up well. Mack actually had some decent screen time in the movie and is voiced by Pixar fave voice talent John Ratzenberger and got some really nice laughs in during the movie credits so don't leave as soon as it ends!

I love the truck and my son seems to love the play part that opens up(he slept with it last night)BUT there are no and I mean NO little cars to be bought to put in the toy that is the only real disappointment with this toy. OH and be careful this toy seems like it will break EASY. BUT overall it was worth the 14.88 at the local supercenter!!!!!!

We purchased this doll for our daughter and had the same experience as the previous reviewer - shortly after removing the doll from the hideous packaging (we actually got it out without incident) the head snapped off! Rather than go through the trouble of exchanging, I superglued it back on. Our daughter loves this doll in the collection, but the construction is highly suspect - we can only hope Mattel remedies this problem...

The head of this doll broke off when trying to get it out of the package. It actually broke off -- not just came out of the socket. Be careful when opening the awful packaging!

My [...] daughter had one of these and I returned it . There were pieces missing from the box. It was hard just getting the box open and finding the instructions which are on the back of a poster. The second one my mom bought her there pieces missing again . They need to package this toy better so pieces won't come up missing.

My 4 1/2 hr old daughter received this toy for Easter and she loves it. The slide does fall apart easily, but she doesn't mind. My problem with it is that after playing with it, the toy will turn on by itself and waste the batteries. I will turn it off, and 2 minutes later its back on again. In order to stop the madness, I have to remove the batteries. Thats a hassle to do after each time she plays with it - especially if its a couple of times a day. She loves playing with it though!

My 6 year old daughter bought this toy with her own money and she has had it for two weeks. She loves it and wants to play with it as soon as she comes home from school. I plan to buy the other compatible sets for her birthday coming up. I find that the slide stays together well, but even if it does come apart, she can put it back together herself and does so without complaint. No, there is not much room to swim, but the waterfall is really cool, especially with the multi-colored lights. Once the water button is pushed, the water comes out for about 10 minutes, then shuts off automatically. This Polly's hair is really pretty with the glittery strands and for being wet numerous times, it still looks good as new and it seems to be holding up well. We have some Polly dolls with rats nests for hair. All in all, I think it was a great value for the money.

my daughters grandmother purchased this as a christmas gift, and since then my daughter has only played with this house a number of times, I thought she would play with it more but she doesn't, this is a very cute house and there is nothing wrong with it or to complain about, I like the real sounds it makes it just doesn't seem to hold her attention and she is now 3.

My one year old daughter got this toy for her first birthday and she loves it. Even her three year old sister plays with her and they share and play together.

We got the Sweet Sounds Home along with the Playground for our daughter when she was about 18 months. This was a good age as she was just starting to do some "pretend play". She is nearly two now and still plays with it every day. The people are the perfect size for her little hands and are extremely durable. Every room has fun and familiar sounds -- telephone ringing, computer typing, washing machine, toilet flush and kids playing. I have found this to be a great toy to foster our daughter's imagination because it is very relatable to her little world. She loves the baby most of all and especially loves hearing her say "Mama Mama". She loves putting the baby and the Mommy and Daddy to bed every night before she goes to bed. She also likes to hear the toilet flush and to put the baby in the bath tub. Fisher-Price has built a lot of small details into this toy that we always seem to be discovering new things -- a kite on the side of the house, a dog on the porch, orange juice in the refrigerator, etc. This is a great toy for a toddler because it is unbreakable, easy to clean and with a little girl's imagination, offers limitless play options.

This toy stinks!!! My daughter received this for her 3rd birthday yesterday, and was SOOO excited to put it together to play. So, my friend and I spent about an hour trying to figure it out. It is a pain to put together, and falls apart if you touch it. It comes with no dolls, and I can't find them anyway to buy them. For today, my daughter has put my vintage Smurf figurines in to play - they actually fit quite well. But, I have a feeling this toy will be forgotten very soon. My advice - Do NOT BUY IT!!!!

Every review posted about this item is right on the money! This SSC castle is the biggest piece of crap I have ever purchase next to the Pony castle in 2004. I cant believe I wasted $40 on this. I have since won the original house from the 80's on that famous auction site for $150 and the quality blows away this crap that they making today. And the new SSC dolls are almost impossible to find in retail stores. I also got almost all of the vintage SSC dolls in the famous auction site too, for LESS than the new crappy dolls are selling for. I too made the mistake in pitching the box. I am going to complain to my credit card company because they quarantee piece of crap defective purchases. I am also complaining to the manufacturer of this garbage. This garbage should be recalled!! Dont waste your money! Knowing now what crap this is, I would not pay $1 for it at a yard sale!

My mom insisted on buying this for my daugther for Christmas. I told her the reviews weren't good, I wish she would have listened. Everything you will read in these reviews is exactly true. This toy is a complete waste of money. Not to mention, the dolls that go with it are impossible to find. I would like to know how this toy even made it to production, but some people are getting rich off of this. I just hope anyone who looks at buying this changes their mind fast!

OK, I don't have much to say, but I think this toy is great! I'm [...], I'm going to buy this as soon as I can get my parents to take me to Toys R Us or another store. I think that this would make a great addition to and collector's collection. :)

I just got this set yesterday, along with the beach set.( i now have 21 pets)the kitty is SO cute when she licks her bottle, and the puppy is the cutest of all. a good way to get the lizards spots off are to rinse him under warm water, and to get them back on, rub an ice cube on them or rinse him in cold water. This toy is SOOOO fun, I don't know if i'll ever outgrow it!!!(im 13 yrs old!!)

heya amazon shoppers and readers,
i got this toy a few months ago, and i like to have a good play with it before i have something to say. i remember seeing it on tv, and i had to have it. i saved my money for quite a while to get it. i was so excited when i opened it! i love that you can weigh your pet, and each pet has a differnt weight! i have fourty three pets, and if you have that many, not only would they get sick, but you need a place to keep them! thanks to the salon, the diner, the playhouse, the playground and this playset, i finally don't struggle with putting away my pets!!! the cute kitty is hungry, and when you feed her, and put her on her bed, she makes slurping noises and her tongue sticks out, also her head moves up and down!!! the gecko looks like he has chicken pocks, and it takes a long time to make them go away, and then in five seconds, they come back!!!! the doggie looks like she has a broken leg, and you need to put a cast on her, and a cone around her neck so she doesn't nibble off the cast! the x-ray thingy is cute too, because when you place a pet on the paw print, and move the flower thing, the pet moves, and its x-ray pops up! there's also a bandaid sheet of stickers to cover those wounds on your pets! this cute playset has a handle, so you can take it with you everywhere to look after all the pets in town!
this portable playset comes with:
A Cute Kitty!
A Cute Puppy!
A Cute Gecko!
A Bed
A X-Ray Table
A Sheet Of Stickers
A Milk Bottle
A Clipboard
A drawer
A Bottle Of Coagh Sirup
A Flue Shot Thingy
A Cast
A Cone
And A Basket For The Weighing Thing.
I really like this playset, and the three pets included, and a cute kitty and pram i bought are my favorite pets!
don't ignore your sick pets, get the get better centre and help them get back on their paws!

It looks really cute, Im saving it for x-mas though. Polly and her friends are going to love the sleigh. Pieces are small so if you have little ones be careful. My daughter is just getting into them. Because of the small pieces and her brother is getting older. so she can have it now good price on it and free shipping rocks

I didn't have this toy because I think this dolls and stuff are for children who are 6 and 10 maybe. When I read these little childrens' reviews, I was very ashamed on older people who are arguing about dolls. Even little girls like 6, 7, 8, 9, and also 10 didn't argue on each other. I am 13 and I love dolls eventhough I am too old for dolls (my dad's opinion. I think dolls are for all age). About the doll, i think little girls should buy polly because it is apporiate for thier ages

I love the doll in this set! Lila is very pretty. I got this doll for Christmas and it still hasn't fallen apart. Did you notice if you pull on the back of the sleigh it turns into a two seater sleigh? Thanks for reading my review.~Libby

This toy is wonderful. My daughter loves to play with water and there is a little fish aquarium and a place to wash and clean the animals. There is so much to do and so many animals to play with. This toy last a long time for activities and attention and I highly recommended this toy even without playing with a Barbie. You can play with this toy just by itself.

I bought this for my 4 year old daughter. She is not that into barbie, but she loves animals. On her birthday she played with this for about 4 hours. She is still playing with it. My son is 6 years old and he was playing with it too. He wants one for his birthday. :)
It is definitely worth buying!!!

This toy is alot of fun.But the box shows more cats and dogs.Oh well,the little bunnies are pink why Pink? The could of made them white.I like the sounds and the cute pets.The food pellets make a big mess though other than that it is a good toy.
