Ski and Snack Shop - $150.00
Product Code: HCM99
Again, I haven't got a clue who decided to market this only for Corinne. This is definitely a piece for either or both Corinne AND Gwynn.
Nice for what it is, especially if you don't have these pieces already. A good height for the dolls, too. It'll make a nice display piece. Most of the food items are re-makes of previous releases. (The bagel! I wasn't impressed. Who ever heard of a flat, yellow bagel with a small round drill hole in the center?) The brownies, cookies and nachos will look familiar, but those granola bars are weird looking and totally not appetizing.
The doors open and close on the microwave and refrigerator. The lack of money in a shop is weird, but the biggest surprise comes in the ski rental area. I think one of the cleverest parts of this set is the fact that it isn't just a snack shop. The ski-rental idea was a great one! But where in the world are the skis?! I think they expect you to spend another $44 for the Ski Set, but you only need the skis to complete this Ski Shop set-up. There isn't room for the rest of the Ski Set, and you can't remove those ski holders on the end of the counter. So, if I wanted this set for display only, I'd figure out something else to do with those plastic bits sticking out. And cover the rental sign. $44 for a pair of skis to complete your $150 Ski Shop makes no sense to me. Of course, if you need the whole Ski Set, then you'll be ready to go if you purchase both!
All in all, this is cute -- especially if you have a set of skis already.
I didn't get any great pics of this, as it was hard to get to the only one Columbus had on display.
