I recently had the opportunity to buy the 6419 ((URL) Rolling Acres Ranch set from an individual. I don't have any Paradisa sets nor do I know much about them. My daughter is getting interested in LEGO and really likes the "LEGO for Her" bucket. My (...) (25 years ago, 16-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) The best way to answer this sort of question is to do a Deja News search and a search of the LugNET marketplace groups for the set number. You'll get an idea of what other people are willing to pay for the set. Then, of course, you can think (...) (25 years ago, 16-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) I don't know about that particular set, but I'm getting a growing impression that Paradisa sets generally are valued quite highly. I know I've now been clobbered a couple of times on Ebay on Paradisa sets, despite my bidding well above the (...) (25 years ago, 17-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

Since they are no longer offered by TLG, you will pay a premium for Paradisa (a lot of closet pink fans out there;) Maybe introduce your daughter to Belville, or Scala. Watch out, however, because if your daughter is like mine, she'll take a fancy (...) (25 years ago, 17-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) For this sort of price, Belville sets are a much better buy... but it does mean giving up the mini-fig scale. Once you daughter gets a belville fig, she'll never touch a mini-fig again. (25 years ago, 17-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

Err - John. I - er - don't have a daughter. I'm nowhere near having a daughter. I'm not even part of a couple yet. And not only that but when I do start going out with someone, I kinda hope it'll be with a girl who doesn't want any children. I buy (...) (25 years ago, 17-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

I bought the House version of Paradisa (Poolside Paradise) because of the cool black car (Which turned into a Corvette, naturally! :) ) I also wanted a nice house, and I still have it as my house to this day. I am planning on remodeling it soon. Oh, (...) (25 years ago, 17-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Yes, those Paradisa sets were overlooked by a lot of AFOLs. Maybe the pink pieces were a turnoff. I did manage to buy a few. My favorite is that dark pink (magenta) colored oval shaped plastic case set, a freestyle set I believe. I picked up (...) (25 years ago, 17-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)
