And no, you can't consider 'need', because nobody 'needs' any of this stuff! I think this is one case where 'want' has to be the thing you consider!Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947247063997873288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-614891283281406611.post-25729715727676497932015-09-10T11:34:54.878-07:002015-09-10T11:34:54.878-07:00I did see Peppa when we got home.

In the Night Garden is the same people who did Tellytubbies, and is done in the same 'people in costumes' style. The toys are much cuter than the characters from the show! You could be right about the licensing for the molds on those Lookalike dolls. They did look nice, but a little cheaper vinyl than American Girls. The clothes looked a nice quality. I could have taken home the whole Sylvanian Families department! I love that stuff! So far I have managed to not even start collecting it. (I don't know how. Maybe money is the reason!) There were so many great things and all the characters are so cute. I love the structures and accessories too. I was trying to be good moneywise, and SO worried we weren't going to be able to fit everything in our cases. At that point we hadn't even seen what Ken had in his sister's attic to take home.

They look pretty nice in your pictures.<br /><br />My daughter has a house full of furniture for her Calico Critters bunny family. Even though she doesn't play with it anymore, she still values it as a special toy set. I would have been grabbing all kinds of Sylvanian Family stuff, especially that red phone booth set.Barb the Evil Geniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635449477605703171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-614891283281406611.post-9379368734820335062015-09-07T12:07:50.966-07:002015-09-07T12:07:50.966-07:00Ah so it looks like Hamley's must have been ru...Ah so it looks like Hamley's must have been running down their doll stocks or something when I went there last year, I might have to go again this time round....as it looks like they have a whole load of new stuff. I remember now that I did see those My Lookalike doll, and didn't like them!!! If I remember rightly, they were all in squashed boxes and their hair was all over their faces, but they certainly only had a couple of them. The Our Generation display looks interesting, but do I really NEED any of that stuf?? Then again, when did NEED ever come into it!!<br />I too fell in love with those tiny little miniatures in that cabinet, but oooooh expensive. I did nearly buy a bear called George but like you decided to hang on to my money! <br />Thanks for sharing your holiday, it's been great fun!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816580427584989752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-614891283281406611.post-7591949849294722122015-09-07T02:48:41.070-07:002015-09-07T02:48:41.070-07:00Hello from Spain: I love your trip to England.
