1.0 out of 5 stars Cheap, Chintzy, and VERY Disappointing!!!, December 19, 2005

This review is from: Breyer Paddock Pals Glamour Girl Ranch (Toy)

Our four-year-old daughter wants a horse farm more than anything else for Christmas. All she talks about is how Santa will bring her a horse farm. She is sooooooooo excited about it.

We selected the Breyer Paddock Pals Glamour Girls Ranch because it looked beautiful in the picture, and because Breyer has a solid reputation for building quality toys. To tell the truth, WE were excited to receive it ourselves. It arrived today, so we decided to open the box and set up the farm. That's when the disappointment struck us.

This is not a standard North Pole quality product. Simply put, the quality of this ranch is TERRIBLE. We were able to get the farm assembled, and true to the pictures on the web, it does look nice. However, getting it to that point was an act of frustration that tested our patience and resolve.

Then, playing with it is another matter entirely. As the other reviewer commented, the windows and doors will not remain on the barn at all. The slightest touch knocks the window shutters and doors off the structure. Some doors did not want to open at all without popping off. One door actually did not fit. The fence? Let's just say that it wouldn't hold any horses I know of - prtend or otherwise. We joked that this barn reminds us of one of those satirical "some assembly required" Christmas toys that takes forever to put together, and then falls apart as soon as someone moves.

The barn itself "feels" flimsy. It almost feels brittle - it's a thin & brittle plastic. It's VERY CHEAP! It doesn't close together evenly or easily. It "snaps" as it closes instead of the smooth motion that we expect.

The horse, girl, and stable accessories supplied with the barn are fine, but they aren't anything special.

We plan to send it back. In doing so, we now face a daunting dilemma... We now have three days to find a suitable farm that would meet our expectations, and more importantly, our daughters' expectations.

Obviously, we do NOT recommend this product.

My daughter received this much-desired toy as an early Christmas gift from her grandmother. The product looked nice in the ad and we believed Breyer to be a good name. Well, we could not have been more wrong. The quality is horrible -- the plastic is incredibly cheap and the pieces do not stay together. Every door and shutter falls off constantly when touched (even slightly) and the fence pieces do not stay together. In the three days she has had the toy, it has done nothing but upset and frustrate her.

4.0 out of 5 stars Big Hit at our house!, December 20, 2006

My 6 year old daughter received this as an early Christmas present from a friend and has been playing with it non-stop ever since. Yes, the fence has to be positioned just right, and if it is, it does not come apart. It is made for children older than 4 for sure. My daughter and my 5 year old son both play with it and now my son wants the traditional red ranch. They love the little accessories, which are definitely made for school-aged children, not preschoolers. Perfect for 6-8 year olds who are more careful in their play.
