I just purchased this set NIB from a board member, and I have to say that I love it. I don't actually think the pictures do it justice, although that's true of many of the outfits.
I hear what many of you are saying about the colour of the skates, but when DD saw pictures of this set (she doesn't know I have it) she went on about how 'beautiful' the skates are and how she wished hers were that pretty. Since I've purchased Mia's white and purple skates for her I hadn't actually planned on keeping this pair, but she likes them so much that I've changed my mind. I do wonder how long the little grommets on the skates will last; I think it's a good thing that the new skates lace all the way up, although this version is more accurate.
The performance dress is very cute. I like it better that most of what was released for Mia and it is far nicer (IMO) than the current skating sets. I didn't expect to like the shrug, but I think it's a lot cuter in person. The leotard/shrug combo can also do double duty as dance gear, so it's a very versatile set considering my daughter's interests.
Given what I paid for the set, it's a resounding A+. If I'd paid full retail, the skates and the snug fit out the clothing would have bumped my rating down into the Bs.
