Best Calico Critters Luxury Townhome Deals

Customer Ratings:

My 4-year-old daughter received the Luxury Townhouse for Christmas 2010. She plays with it nearly everyday, interacting with the animal families, making them "talk", cook, sleep, bathe, etc. Like with all toys, she has had to learn to take care of her dollhouse and the accompanying furniture and "residents". Nothing on the dollhouse has broken. The lights are a really fun touch, especially when she can see them light up the house at nighttime. They do require frequent battery changes, but we invested in rechargeable batteries and that has helped to ease the cost of buying new ones. This dollhouse is a perfect size for younger children. It's made entirely of molded plastic, plus opens and closes easily. The "mobile" staircase and patio are a nice touch, too, allowing children to decorate their house as they wish. If you're looking for a dollhouse that's durable and not huge, this is a great one to consider.

I loved Sylvanian Families when I was a child, and loved the Calico Critters when I saw them, but was deterred by the price and large number of small parts. I finally happened upon the townhouse at a steal and bought it, plus a ton of animals and furniture for my 3-year-old son. He saw the dollhouse on Christmas morning and spent a solid ten minutes walking circles around it saying, "look, look, the doors open!" and "that's the chimney that Santa goes down!" He loves tucking the babies into their crib, brushing the hedgehogs' "hair," undressing everyone, and bringing in his model dragons to knock on the door and cause all kinds of cuddly critter evacuations. He loved the little tea tins and present boxes, and was ecstatic that he could turn the lights on.

The tiny parts requiring assembly in the deluxe furniture sets came with virtually no instructions, which was annoying, but I figured it out, and the only room big enough for the deluxe bathroom was the room the front door opens into, but my 3-year-old couldn't care less about visitors passing the "potty" on their way in. The room divider was pointless, since it either blocks the ability to play in that part of the house, or closes off a room that is almost too small to use. We stuck the fireplace in there and called it a day.

All in all, it's a great toy: my son loves it, I think it's too cute for words, and we have fun playing with it together. My chief complaint is that when we put the kitchen set, bathroom set, and living room set (which took the entire top floor) in it, there was no room for the bedroom stuff. Fortunately, we had an empty nursery school to throw the babies into and they don't seem to mind living alone. ;) If I had it to do over, I might have opted for one of the bigger housesthis one takes up my whole coffee table when it's open, anywaybut other than that it turned out to be a great gift.

Lovely pictures of happy critters sitting at furniture and playing. But NOWHERE on the box does it warn "figures and furniture not included". The box leads you to believe that there's much more than the shell of the house.

Shame on Calico Critters!

If there had been a warning I'd have still bought it, and would have bought some figures and stuff at the sometime, so the big birthday surprise wasn't a disappointment. Now we've got to go out and get the stuff. Try explaining "we'll have to wait til tomorrow" to a 2-year old girl... A kind of disappointed little girl.

I hope everyone interested on this reads this and then can decide whether to go ahead (and probably spend the same amount on top of this) and get the rest of the necessary pieces.

Honest reviews on Calico Critters Luxury Townhome

I was extremely unhappy with it because when my grandaughter began to play with it there was nothing but the basic house for $85--no people, no furniture, nothing. Perhaps I should have read more carefully but when something is pictured with furniture, animals, etc. and there's nothing in the box but the basic house, it reeks of false advertising. It cost me an additional $124 at Toys R Us to furnish HALF of it for her. I'm thoroughly disgusted. Even the clerk at Toys R Us thought it seemed like false advertising. I'd seen it on display there with all of the animals, etc., but they were out of it, so I got it through you. Either way, I'm most unahppy.

My daughter loves this Critter house. She adores small things and can spend hours using her imagination to fill the house with love and laughter. This lights are a bonus as well as all the "cool" little things that you can get to fill it up. Sure wish I had an unlimited budget to get her all the neat things-at once! Fun, playful house for my daughter to create her critter family.
