NotsoGifted, my ds7 also wants the barbie dream house, I think the cost I am seeing is pretty high, though (150+?) maybe I am looking in the wrong place. I saw another wooden house made for barbies but not barbie brand for less, with disco ball...so I might go that route. I think I read 6-12 is optimal play age for these, so 9 is probably still perfect for a few years. smile

I am going to ask my sister how much play the kids really get out of it, cause it does seem to take a good bit of space.
