Although I am a huge fan of the Friend's theme this set actually blew me away. There is SO much play value included with the set that it is pretty amazing - even better it looks fabulous on display (even if the coaster track is actually wider than my shelf where I intended to locate this set). The inital outlay may seem steep but this is going to keep you occupied for hundreds of play hours.
The only down side to the set is there are only 4, highly detailed, mini-dolls included with it. Definitely not enough to populate this funfair build so you are going to have to pinch from your stash or other sets but that is only a minor niggle as you get:
1. The roller coaster track with 2 carts.
2. A stage area with the cutest bunny in a top hat sign where the bunny moves up and down. Also includes revolving rear walls. The shape of the stage is so blissfully curvy I loved that design feature. The roof is a fabric overlay that pushes on and gives a wonderfully retro feel.
3. 2 side towers for the staging area that can be positioned wherever you want. One is a popcorn stand with the cutest brick built sign. The second is a dtaging area for the entertainers and even has a little dressing area.
4. A wheel balnce acrobatic thingy-ma-jig where two of your mini-dolls can put on a gymnastics show.
5. Two magic tricks. One features a disappearing woman cabinet, the other is a disappearing gem trick. The operation of the tricks is simple but highly effective and mae me very happy to play with them.
6. There are also a little balloon stall, a moveable bench with balloons, a magic trick desk with bunny in a tophat, flower trick and card trick and, finally, a signpost.
Everything just about fits inside the roller coaster track but it is a tight squeeze - you are definitely going to need a lot of play space to have the whole thing set up. Worth it though as this thing is just such fun to play with.
The build instructions are wonderfully straight forward. The whole is split in to 4 books which easily detail which bag you need to open next and means you can just build the section you want to and don;t have to follow the 1 - 8 bag numbers if you don't want to.
