i agree that that is a lot of money and clearly it is cashing in on the TV show success and popularity. eg. for £20 you can buy a castle playlet which is much bigger.
however, i loved your vlog! very informative – thanks
ps. i wont be buying this but can see that it will be popular
I find it similar with a lot of the character playsets. Bud has a few Peppa Pig sets and they aren't played with regularly, simply because he has other toys which do more and are more engaging. They are often overpriced too. Like Jenny I would rather buy a castle playset if Bud wanted Mike the Knight toys.
My husband and I have bought this for Dexter for Christmas (must add we got it at a reduced price, which made the purchase feel worthwhile). I think it'll be a good starting point for Dexter because he's only 19-months-old and we'll probably end up adding some of the other playsets onto this. I have to say that I was disappointed that it didn't come with the dragons though.

This is a great review, I think you've both done a great job on this.
I agree at the price being too steep, I gasped when you said how much it is.
jenny paulin says
i did too! i would expect to pay maybe £20 max but actually think £15 is more realistic
