Try the Playmobil series. You can order right from the company for good quality stuff. They have all different scenarios. Good luck and sorry to hear about the mess. Yes, they are raping the consumers with these prices b/c it is xmas.

I have been watching this product everyday for weeks now. I have seen the price all over the place. I did see it one day for $99.00. I should have ordered it then! Right now, the price is at $159.00. I have seen it up over $400.00. I just dont understand why the price fluctuates so much day to day. I still think $159.00 is high.I really wouldnt pay over $159.00... is there another special present your daughter might like? I told my daughter that I will watch the price and maybe order it after Christmas. I told her that "I" wanted to get it for her (instead of Santa). Good luck. I hope it works out for you I have been watching this product everyday for weeks now. I have seen the price all over the place. I did see it one day for $99.00. I should have ordered it then!

I ran into the same problem myself. I had it in my cart yesterday and was waiting to hear back from my brother for his input before buying this for my niece. I assumed I had plenty of timer with the Prime and even pay $3.99 for Next Day but it automatically filled in the Amazon Prime standard 2 day shipping. HOLD ON!! I just tried adding it to my cart again just now and the problem's fixed!!! You can even get it by tomorrow, Saturday for $4.99. Unfortunately I couldn't wait any longer and already bought a different gift for her. Hopefully there's still time for you. I should just refuse delivery on the other gifts I bought instead and order this one now.

Sorry for the delay in my response; i just found this as i was emptying my spam file. Nothing else was scheduled to be included in the box, per the Amazon email to me of 10/16/14. It shows up as a separate order. The items i bought that day were grouped into several orders, each with its own order number. So far nothing has happened and i need to know what to do about this. I sent a second email to Amazon and am awaiting a response.

I wondered if amazon wouldn't give a heads up on arrivals of a major purchase like this, seeing as they don't charge your cc until it ships, and I'd like some notice on a $900 hit on my account. Thanks for all the replies, saves me from going to B&H; twice a day until it's available.

I see what you mean ... the default price was higher because Amazon stock is out. It says: "Order now and we'll deliver when available. We'll e-mail you with an estimated delivery date as soon as we have more information. Your credit card will not be charged until we ship the item." So I suppose you can try that and cancel the order if you aren't happy with the response (or lack of response). It sounds like a pretty awesome toy I must say.

I ordered it with 5 other items because it was an amazon carrier and I needed to have over 35$ worth of items, so I got a very large box and it was very discrete. As far as I noticed, it just said it was from amazon, so be sure to buy the one from amazon and you should be fine.

I had the same issue and the seller GRPerks would not take responsibility. They required buyer to pay return shipping and had horrible response time throughout claim process. Ended up filing second claim to Amazon to get gift card in equal amount. Do not buy from this seller!!

I just purchased mine 11/17/09 from CameraKing for 735.99 with free shipping. I found this vendor on Ebay. It shipped out the following day (yesterday) and I can't wait for my new toy to arrive. Edit. 11/27/09 It did not ship out at all. CamerKing lied about it being in stock and about shipping it out. Stay away from CameraKing! When I asked today, 12 days after paying for it, where my system was they told me that they don't have it and won't be getting more. They then tried to get me to buy a different product from them. I wouldn't do business with them ever again! I today bought the system from Amazon for 849.99. At least I will probably get it from them. Again, do yourself a favor and stay Clear of CamerKing. Very unethical people!

I am glad someone asked actually... I asked them directly and they said "yes" HOWEVER, the shipment never made it to my door. I emailed them a month or so later asking them where my package was and they said it was held up in customs and that they would refund my money. I immediately responded that I wanted to still get the figure as I really wanted it even if I have to wait while they sent me another one but they refunded my money anyway with no response other than 'money refunded, sorry'. Shortly after they also jacked up the price so even if I wanted to reorder I would have had to pay more. I am glad someone asked actually...

Does anyone have the case like me? Amazon wrote a msg and told me they couldn't process the order (without any explanation) and asked me to place a new order with the current price is $80 more than the price I ordered early of June. I couldn't understand that!

I preordered as soon as it became available. After my order continued to have no Est. ship date I cancelled and ordered instead from BigBadToystore.com. 3 days later and I have tracking information and should have it before the end of the week. It was $124 including shipping. I recommend others waiting to cancel and order from them.

This doll actually never worked from the seller from day one! It was to be a birthday present for my daughter who was turning four. I ordered it only 3weeks in advance. I read the other reviews about the doll not working, and I figured surely the seller would have fixed it by now. No... Either these dolls were bought ages ago and batteries are dead? Or they are totally defective. I wish I would have waited the additional time and gotten it from Disney. I didn't return it because of the time I had before it was given to her. But she has no idea the doll should be able to sing. She just plays with it like a Barbie. This doll actually never worked from the seller from day one!

Same thing happened to me....contacted Amazon and they told me to resolve it with the seller. I'm calling AMEX to dispute....the payee is listed as AMAZON, isn't it their responsibilty to resolve? I will not be doing business with Amazon again.

I would love for another Barbie Dream house to be shipped to me at no cost. Also, I would like a return shipping label, so I can mail back the defected Dream home at no cost to me. My daughter loves her dream home. It was a total dissapointment when the chandelier, fire place and the the Refrig light did not work. But, the funniest thing about this whole situation, my daughter was happy to have it, even though those items did not work. She said to me, it's okay mommy, I will just play with it the way it is!

Thanks very much for your response. Since mine was "finally" delivered they kept emailing me and asking me to take the low rating off because it might affect their sales. I really didn't want to do so because that's really too long to wait for something but did just to make them leave me alone. Amazon really should make room for explanations about that--all I could give as a reason was "other" and that didn't quite seem fair to other buyers.
