Lil Bratz - Backstage bash playset:  $6.75 @ Shared thrift store

They happen to have a lot of new in box toys here for some reason.  It's funny that I found this one, since I was remembering the ones I used to have a decade ago!  

I gave them away when I moved and started regretting it.  Well, I never had this exact one, but I'm happy to have it.  Even though I've always found bratz dolls ugly, they came out with a lot of neat playsets.

The price seemed a bit much for what it was, but retail was probably around $20.  Plus...it's a decade old!  It's not likely that I'll find it again, especially in new in box condition.

I just really liked the furniture, especially the diner sphere.  I just hope I find a new in box mall for a decent price...I regret giving it away now!

 

Mini Lalaloopsy - Crumbs' tea party:  $2.99 @ Salvation Army (RSP:  $14.99+)

I really like the idea of lalaloopsy, but the doll is just too playline for me.  The regular price is also way too expensive to be appealing to me.

I've seen a few secondhand before, but I was never tempted to pick them up.  They're just so big, hard, and heavy!  I don't even think I would have wanted one as a child.

The littles are a different story. They're adorable!  I've never seen any secondhand, but if I did, I'd pick them up.  I'd also pick up any that were on sale for $10 or under, but that hasn't happened yet.

Anyhow, I normally love minis, but I was never tempted by these either.  I just don't care for the look of them.

I did however see this playset on flickr before...and I thought the furniture was wonderful!  I never saw it in stores here, or else I would have been really tempted.

I would have paid more than $3 for the furniture.  The doll I don't really care for, but it's a nice addition.  I do love how her appendages move around when you shake her though!

Bratz World furniture set - Yasmin's house:  $6.75 (RSP:  $40+)

Gold fishscale belt:  $2

Both @ Shared Thrift Store

And I got that reusuable bag for free.  Score!  

I don't like Bratz, but I thought the furniture was surprisingly nice.  To my dismay, the quality ended up being pretty crappy.  That wardrobe doesn't even have a back to it!  I've never seen furniture that bad.  They could have at least made it structurally complete!

The vanity is even worse.  None of the drawers pull out, which I did know beforehand.  The  wardrobe on the other hand, was a complete surprise.  The bottom drawers don't pull out either, which also sucks.

Still, everything looked nice.  I do like the design of it, but I definitely wouldn't have been willing to pay any more than this, especially if it wasn't new! 

This time, they had a lot of new in box toys there....especially of the Bratz variety.  This was the only one worth picking up!
