In my experience (I have 4 boys 22, 16, 8, 6) kids circle things because they look cool in the ads. Little People are sturdy and will last, however, my problem with Little People (I own a lot in boxes in the garage because they are in perfect condition so I don't want to get rid of them - Why?? I don't know!!!) is by the time your child understands manipulative play, they are kinda on the way out of Little People. He probably circled that because he now knows it exists because he saw it in the ad. But he may be happier with something that he can play with the same, but will last longer, because it isn't so young looking. My boys 8 and 6 do not play with Little People and haven't for quite awhile. I would say Little People are more for ages 2-4. My boys like playing with Pirates of the Caribbean action figures, Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers and stuff like that. They love sports stuff. But my advice would also change if you have little ones at home and you don't want a lot of little pieces around a baby. And also, the baby can get the little people next. I just wish I had all the money from all the Little People I've bought that still look like they just came out of the package. Hope this helps.
