Just a difference in description I think, they're the same piece. I've got
3 of these things and they all sound a bit different to each other, just the
luck of the draw. One is much more ding-dongey than the others, one is a
bit of a fizzer and the other somewhere in between. Fortunately I don't
find them irritating at all :)
I don't actually own the newest version of this set as reviewed by Kerry,
but having seen it it doesn't really have anything to offer over the other
recent versions of the playhouse, overall I think it is a poorer set. The
one piece of interest to me is the shower head which I believe is new, but
I'm not going to buy it just for that :) (Kick me, I did buy the last
version especially for the bathtub!)
Kerry wondered how a boy might like the playhouse sets, my 7.5 year old son
still gets ours out (the previous two incarnations of this set and various
accessory sets) and loves to build and rearrange the building and furniture
layout. The way he plays with it in the end has changed a lot since he was
younger.
I think he was around 2.5 - 3 years old when we got our first playhouse
set(actually 2 copies of the one big set to get enough walls and windows)
and the family used to always sit down to dinner etc. As he got older we
progressed through fires and floods, demolitions etc, went through a period
when he wasn't interested in it at all (around age 5-6 I think), and now
he's generally more interested in how he can build and arrange it than
playing with the end product - although the other week it was an elaborate
jail/dungeon which he was actually playing with. He still likes to demolish
it as violently as possible when he's finished (this started somewhere
around age 4.5), and so far nothing has broken but I have asked him to tone
it down so it'll last long enough for his baby sister to grow into it!
