This is great news -
my girl plays with old, vintage PP sets.
I always thought they were genius in that you could carry a little world around and open it up to play with, then tidy it away again afterwards. Great for a kid's imagination (and both a parent's dream in being so small and a nightmare in losing the tiny pieces!).
I always wondered why they stopped making them as they seem to remain very popular on the second-hand market.
Looks like I will be buying a few of these when/if they hit the shelves here in the UK.
ETA -
Coming out in the US in June this year
