Calico Critters/Sylvanian Families shops
« on: October 17, 2013, 01:48:49 AM »
I've been eyeing these for quite a long time now and yesterday I went to TRU and they were having a sale I couldn't pass up.
The playsets were bogo 50% off and the family was free with the purchase...so I guess I've started collecting Calico Critters  :blush:

The shops are quite amazing. I spent hours last night putting them together and am still not quite finished.
I love how these are a good size for G4s too.
Anyone else collect the playsets? I'd love to see/hear about which ones you have and what you think of them  ^.^
I saw they had the Toy Shop but I'm not so sure I want it. The little Bakery I've seen before and it looked really cute. They weren't in stock that I saw yesterday though.
I love that the stores are making it over to the Calico Critters line. :)

I have a few animal families and a few of the furniture sets :)  I love how detailed they are, and the furniture works well for some of my other small toys. 
My favorite families are the hedgehogs, reindeer and owls.

Yeah I love all the little details. Some of the foods are as well detailed as Re-Ment. I really bought these because they are a good size for ponies and I like miniatures but the characters are cute too. I wasn't going to get any of the families but, for free, how could I pass up. I like the kitties and the mice the most I think.

I like the Calico shops!  The details of the sets and the accessories are wonderful.  You are right, 3377345.  The G4 playful ponies work well size-wise with them with the exception of the chairs- the ponies don't fit unless you put them sideways.  I've bought the Bakery and the Burger Cafe... I'm thinking of buying the Supermarket but I've already got the Li'l Woodzeez General Store which is kind of a similar idea.  I'm in the process of changing the signs to be more "pony".  Then I can construct my own Ponyville with all the little buildings!
