5636 Luxury Beach House
« on: November 18, 2015, 20:06:13 »
It wasn't supposed to arrive until Friday so it was a pleasant surprise to find this on my doorstep today....

The Box:





The box is fairly full



The contents: 

I like the coloring of the Jet-ski

I'm glad that I'm not the only one :)

More of the contents (actually put together):



I LOVE the Male Klicky!  The Female is a re-issue and a pretty disappointing one at that.

The scene is fairly large... 



The Dock could actually be used as a stand alone, or it can be connected to the end like shown.  I like the dock though.





It would take some work (including sawing off the tabs) to connect 2 of these for a half moon harbor type scene.

Just a couple more images...





The bed only fits downstairs.  The upstairs is narrower than the bed.



Overall, would I pay $50 for it?  NO.  I am happy that I only paid $19.99 (not sure how Target screwed that one up, but I'll take it! I might even consider buying another at that price.)  It has a few nice accessories, again I like the colors of the jet-ski.  And I absolutely love the male Klicky.  I like the dock.  The base is a really odd shape, so without some work it won't go well in a diorama. I hate the pink, and will probably be giving it a paint job to something more neutral.   

I like it though!

Thanks for the review :)

I like the base - and the dock is really pretty!

The male klicky is indeed very nice. I don't dislike her (love those skirts), but it is very disappointing to see the same klickys over and over again...

I'm curious as to the paint job ;)

Does the dock fit over the sidewalk tab from two sides? Can it be used as the connector piece between two of the big baseplate pieces?
That was my initial thought with it.

I believe that it very well could be used like that. it obviously fastens to one side, but I don't see anything to block it from just sitting over the other

It looks very nice, the only thing wrong with it is all the pink.

I've never ween this set before!  :o Thanks for sharing!
Looks interesting though way too pink and small. It reminds me of theater plays scenography.
The clicky-girl is really cute!  :)
