Stowasser Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 I saw that Walmart was offering the Dora's Talking House for $49.xx at BF this is without any of the furniture sets (it doesn't come with furniture) but I found a pretty good deal at Costco. It is the big set which includes the Talking House and at least 6 rooms of furniture for $109.xx. It had the two bedrooms, bathroom, dining room, kitchen, and living room. It might have had the Media too but was looking with husband so quick glance. Now, add it up-House-$50 plus each room ranges in store from $10-$15 so that is $60 so you are saving a couple of bucks (off of the BF price if you are able to get one) and getting one GREAT BIG BOX for your little one to open. My kids would flip to see a box like that under the tree. No battling other people to get just the house. Hopefully this helps, if my kids were little that is the way I would buy it. If you don't have a membership to Costco, maybe a friend does and you can shop with them one day......
sapphire Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 yes i saw this and i plan on going back to get it when she isn't with me, that is a great buy
RossMAN Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 What's so great about this Dora's Talking House, other than it talks?
mjmcca Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Its a really nice doll house for little girls too young to play with Barbies. And it has Dora. She is very popular!
sapphire Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 to a 2.5 yr old ITS DORA, and she TALKS, to YOU....get it:g_dance: this is perfect for my DD, she can play by herself all day long and her dolls carry the best conversations, if you can understand it all, but thats why its so good, no stuck to a tv all day long with this toy
RossMAN Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Ok I just wasn't sure if it did anything else. I miss my GI Joes and race cars oh and the train set. Christmas isn't nearly as fun as an adult.
sapphire Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 ross sure it is, its fun watching the daddy try to open all the toys the night before x-mas and the day of x-mas for a jumping 2.5 yr old thats got ants in her pants, thats LOADS of fun, lol
gijimenez Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 What's so great about this Dora's Talking House, other than it talks? You'll have to be a five year old girl to understand
hpowers Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 I heard that this house was hazardous.How is it hazardous? My girls have played with theirs for a year now and they are still alive. Maybe they are the lucky ones, hee hee.
elena_398 Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 My daughter wants this house, but Im passing on it. I know where all the pieces will end up. In the toy box. So the empty house shell will sit in the toy room. I've learned. :)

So the empty house shell will sit in the toy room. I've learned. :)I took all of the pieces and put them in a small storage box so it is near the dollhouse. That way the pretty much dint get lost and i can tell my kids to put away the pieces when they are finished.
copados1993 Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 this house is on my daughters very long list! Not sure how Santa feels yet!
aleiasmommy Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 I am planning on buying this for my 2 1/2 year old who LOVES Dora...but I am going to pass on the costco one....I would rather buy everything separately and have her open a *bunch* of presents than 1 big one...your only saving a few bucks anyway...my girls rather open a bunch of presents rather than getting 1 huge present... I have a $200 spending limit on each of my girls so that would take up half of her allowance and only 1 present versus a bunch of little ones:eyepoppin
gijimenez Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 How is it hazardous? My girls have played with theirs for a year now and they are still alive. Maybe they are the lucky ones, hee hee. I went to order it on Amazon the the reviews from a few parents said it sent electrical sparks or something of that nature. Also I think you can get a one day pass to costco at Customer Service. I am a member but they do offer the one day pass. Lourdes
ryka Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 I got this for my daughter last year. she played with it for 2 weeks and then it went in the closet. It is still sitting there.

LourdesI have this doll house i bought it last year and i have had no problem with it. I was concerned with what you said however and i just went the amazon.com and read every review of this dollhouse. 96 if the to be exact. I didn't not see one reference to sparks. I saw a lot of people upset that6 they were unable to get the accessories for it last year when i came out.
itscryttle Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 I am still debating on getting this for my 2 1/2 yr old. She ADORES Dora... but she has the Fisher Price Little people house and play yard and Barn. I can't decide if she really needs the Talking Dora house as well. I took all of the pieces and put them in a small storage box so it is near the dollhouse. That way the pretty much dint get lost and i can tell my kids to put away the pieces when they are finished.I did this too... but with my daughters Fisher Price little people stuff. SO much easier to keep track of all that stuff
mjmcca Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 I did this too... but with my daughters Fisher Price little people stuff. SO much easier to keep track of all that stuff Their little people stuff are in another box and so are the matchbox cars and the Mr Potato head pieces.
