A few years ago I worked over the holidays at an AG boutigue. Over a period of a few days after Christmas 5 sleighs were returned, all with the same "break" I would think that this years batch, the problem should have been fixed.
It would be really expensive to return if you do not have store nearby.

Tons of these were returned last year at the the AG store I worked at. They were not of very high quality, one of the bolts just snaps when a child tries to pull it.
I was going to buy it with my discount and passed when I saw them coming back early.

I picked this up last year off Craigslist, for 100.00. We put it under the tree from Santa. It is huge and more amazing in person.
My daughter was excited about it but really did not play much with it. She did make a comment that Santa must have brought it for me, because I was was the one who really wanted it. I told her that Santa brought it for her and she could play with it, but she knows it is " retired " and is concerned about taking good care of it.
I am still really glad we bought it, but it is huge!!!!!!!!! and we do have a spot for it to hang out all year. I just like looking at it and it goes with my colors in my living room.
Sometimes, I find webkins stored there.

Original Tepee:
I bought my daughter the teepee last year for christmas. I was not at all impressed. I would have returned it if I could(came from Santa) My husband had a hard time putting it together and the sticks look cheap. They never stay in their holes.
It is impressive once set up, but not easy to move and too small really for Kaya.

Released in 1994, retired in 2007. Some pieces (doilies and forks, and a revised version of the bowls) were later released as part of Addy's Ice Cream Set. Associated with Happy Birthday, Addy!
Momma and Mrs. Golden planned a grand party at the boarding house to celebrate two glorious occasions in one: the end of the war, and Addy’s tenth birthday! You can set Addy’s birthday table with two ironstone compotes that have a crackle finish, two lavender tumblers, a copper pitcher, three crocheted lace doilies, and two forks and spoons. Tuck the linen napkins into the napkin rings—they’re etched with little numbers just as they were in the boarding house so you and Addy will remember whose napkin is whose!
Mine just came today. I agree with all of the reviews, it is real nice heavy copper and real glass and all..............but after I opened it, I was very dissapointed.
There is not much too it, what was the real price 58.00??? I have a lot of dolls and all but that sure is a lot of money for a few plates and forks and a historical pitcher.
I just hate the thought that it will be retired and some day I will come across Addy's table and have no historically correct dishes for her.
I am going to keep it in the box for now.
