OT Sorry what is the interest in/ point of Sylvanian?

Got kids 5, 7, 9 and they are not remotely interested and these toys do not register on the radar.

Hi, thanks for the detailed reply! I had a look and spoke to DH and we think that your advice is a better approach to my DD's new found love in Sylvanian, especially the babies she is so interested in! So now need to decide which nursery play set to get and accessories! Going to have a search around to see if i can find any bargain ones now, thanks.

Give me a shout if you want any advice on any of them... we have most of the nursery sets

thanks for the info on this thread - just got dd2 aged (just) 5 the windmill which she has been going on about for ages. Got from Debenhams with 10% code and quidco tracked so very pleased. Made it a more reasonable cost. Aside from the car which she has this is her first real SF set. Could I ask what furniture anyone would recommend? I also like the idea of the SF club mentioned - is it good value at £9.99?

Thanks

Richmond

ps to sirbrainy (love the name) I guess each child is different. My DD1 never interested (now 11) but DD2 much more girly and always liked looking at them in the shops but always been too expensive - most upset last year when we could not stretch to the tree house that she wanted (however DS aged 2 also loves them so they seem to appeal to both sexes!).

If anyone's close to Bath I noticed some reduced SF sets in Eric Snook's The Golden Cot (round the corner from M&S)- hazy on the details but they were smallish sets reduced by half, ending up around £4.99- £7.50, babies were £2.49.
I couldn't concentrate as I had an extra child to keep an eye on :eek:; if you need me to investigate further please PM me and I'll have a look on Tuesday...
HTH someone

I gave them a call this morning but they have all gone Thanks anyway

Check out Debenhams online, reducing now!

Windmill was £70 now £56

Codes here

Still doesnt mean you cant find some of the SF cheaper elsewhere.

Oh and dont forget Quidco etc

Was really excited when i read the Windmill was £56, they must have sold out now as i cant find it on the site.

I managed to buy it from jadlamracingmodels.com in the end, they seem to do quite good deals on Sylvanians and Playmobil. I just bought the windmill for £62 Delivered, plus the motorcycle and side car for £20.

I particularly like the bits it says included in the magazine, like making clothing and other bits for the house dd is too young for that but I'd quite enjoy that myself. It also says you get a members badge and I think its nice to have the magazine to look forward to my ds gets the free lego mags and he loves getting them through the door. I think with the 2 figures, a diecast collector badge and 4 magazines its worth £9.99, here's the info

edit, I have just joined, I've chosen the grandparents and will see if I can get a good deal on the matching rabbit family. And hopefully I will take advantage of the special offers available throughout the year

Found this (last post) from somebody about the club, sounds good http://www.damsels.org/forum/showthread.php/201605-Sylvanian-Families-what-to-get
