I've finally started acquiring some of Josefina's rarest sets in an effort to complete my collection, and my most recent score has been the coveted toy farm! I agree with the others, the quality does not at all warrant the high Ebay prices, but the rarity does, since it was only available for a few years. Plus this was such a pivotal item in her stories (it was even mentioned in her latest mystery of all things) that I totally had to have it.
It feels very fragile, made of thin wood, glue, and paint that seems easily cracked - I'm terrified I will drop a piece! I honestly wish it was made of the sturdier wood of some of the earlier Mattel accessory sets (like the difference between Kirsten's PM and Mattel tine). I think I could breathe a little easier handling it. It is so cute though, Josefina looks almost happy when she's playing with it!
I'd give it a B+.
