Those prices are cheap. Wasn't the big dollhouse $200 or thereabouts in the '90s?

In the US ? Yes the 5300 were $200 discounted to $100 when I was buying them in 2004 at brick and mortar stores (usually hidden in back rooms collecting so much dust you could grow corn)

So the price today is reasonable. Geobra  can’t really charge much over that seeing as all the dolllhouses are always south of $200

From inflation calculation

“ $200 in 1990 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $423.24 today, an increase of $223.24 over 31 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 2.45% per year between 1990 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 111.62%. “

Can someone confirm if this reiusse is Steck?

I have half a mind about buying this ‘for my daughter’  :love: :love: :love: but I’d want to know how easy it is to pack it away for storage.

Definitely buying the furniture sets, would go great with western themed sets I think.

I assume they will release one set per day from now on, I'm waiting for a 4th set to get free delivery ;)
