This review is from: Fisher Price Little People a Christmas Story (White Shipper Box) (Toy)

I did the same thing a few other people did. I ordered this thinking it would light up, play music and come in a collector box. I was surprised when it arrived in a white box and was more surprised when it didn't light up and play music. When I came back to the Amazon site to check the description I caught my error. Amazon's description is what I received, but then where did I read that it lights up and plays music....on the Fisher Price website. It comes up on their site as "Catalog Exclusive" but is a deluxe set which is $30.00 plus $6.95 shipping. The deluxe set has additional pieces, hay for the animals and some fence pieces. I read the description there, toggled over to Amazon, saw the "Exclusive" and just assumed it was the same. Tsk, tsk on my part. All in all there was no harm done. I bought this to help my friend keep her one year old daughter away from their Christmas tree and the traditional manger set. I showed it to my daughter, who is three, and she wanted to put it in her room immediately! She likes it either way. I thought of buying the deluxe set for my friend and keeping this set for my daughter, but when dealing with a manger (of all things) it just doesn't seem right to consider this product inferior. Don't feel cheated, take the $15.00 difference and buy the book "The Christmas Star" by Marcus Pfister as a companion to the manger set. Reading to a child about the star of Bethlehem, and acting out the story with the manger set, will stick with them longer than the 5 seconds they spend staring at the musical star.

This is a great way to introduce our daughter to the true meaning of Christmas, with a toy that will hold her attention for more than a minute! Many people commented that this Nativity scene differs from the one in the Fisher Price catalogue (with the lit star, music etc). If you look at Fisher Price's website it says "Catalogue exclusive", so of course you can NOT get it here. AND, the catalogue toy costs more money, so there is not really any comparison. Still, I think a better description of the product on this site would help customers be sure what they are getting.

All in all, I think we will be keeping this out long after Christmas!

1.0 out of 5 stars Terribly Overpriced, November 4, 2007

I am sometimes disappointed with Amazon.com's decision to allow vendors who price gouge. Fisher-Price's own online store sells this same product, which is a very nice toy for toddlers, for exactly one half of the price offered here by "Outside the Box". Amazon's own prices are usually very competitive, but they really need to monitor vendors like this one.
