Two things you need to know about these Barbie Villa: 1) Mega Bloks are basically Legos (though by a different company). Look mostly like Lego bricks out, are the same size and the same structure. Accordingly, this villa is like having Lego. That is, the construction period is at least 2 hours and there are really a lot of small and micro parts in the box. If this is to be a gift and the daughter plays rather than builds, you must therefore take precautions. 2.) The impression of the finished house is: But that's small! Interestingly, the photo on the box is actually a scale of 1: 1, but appears larger. This has the advantage that the villa is space-saving. But ordinary Barbie dolls because not fit in - the wings are slightly smaller than the Barbie doll. Instead, two Barbie figures (and a cat) included in the correct scale. These are larger and more slender than a Lego figure (about 2/3 of a Playmobil figure). They have the disadvantage that the hair come off lleicht, but otherwise they are very well suited to play - if it makes the child anything that there are just not a real Barbie doll.
Of these restrictions from the house is top! My daughter loves to play with it - you have just so see how a Playmobil or Lego House, less than a Barbie thing. The house offers a lot of small details that make you play: A lift that goes, little things like blender, laptop, ice cream cones or hair dryer. And of course a cat :-) The manual is good and the finished house can then easily find space in the box, if it is to be vacated times aside. All in all, really a commendable thing!
