Huh a blue barrel, a green ladder, a pink cabinet, so many strange bits in this one you could do really creative things with.
I really like this set solely for the fact that it comes with three cats.
Interesting!
One good thing with "girly" themes like this, alongside the heavy action ones like BIONICLE and EXO-Force, is they come with lots of parts in interesting colors. The more colors a part comes in, the better!
I always think Belville looks like some kid was playing with her random collection of dolls and ponies and small animals - but then borrowed her brother's Lego to build them houses!!! (yes I know the Lego could be hers to start with!!).
I think there is a little part of me that likes Belville!!!
I owned this set and loved it as a child - but I never quite understood why they slept above the stables...
Interesting there's no price information for a 21st century set.
Oh, and happy Star Wars day, because nothing screams Star Wars like equestrianism!
@Concreteface ... maybe they were poor? After all, the stable has no walls or roof. You'd want to hope for good riding weather...
