Not nice and too expensive.  If you've got one for a free sample you could put it in the 2010 Auction  :naughty: :rofl: :rofl:

I recall seeing a picture of Minimopsical as a kitten in one of the turrets.

I have to say that I don't really like it either. If I was going to pay that much for an activity centre I'd probably get one of the banana leaf tree ones, or a really sturdy quality wooden one. I don't think it looks like brilliant quality, and probably costs more because it's a novelty.

Pricey I also think  :shy: Would be good to have in the garden if it was weather proof  :)

Its a shame Tan you couldn't find out where some sellers on ebay get theirs from, there are some really cool ones on there and thats where I look for mine, would be easier if they were to be found here  ;)

I actually think its quite small for the price  :shy:

Too big and too expensive. A lot of the activity centres are nice to look at, but you need huge houses in order to accommodate them. Even if it wasn't that much, I'd have noooooo space to put it  :scared:

I think the little sleepy holes are sweet, but it is an awful lot of money for what it is and I do think there are better products on the market. It would make a great competition prize though! ;D

I love it but like Lesley it is quite pricey. Can't really see what sort of quality it is so if it is brilliant quality maybe I'd be more tempted (finances allowing). It does look like fun though ;)

I personally do not think it is worth £130.  I am currently looking into eventually replaying my large activity centre and have been looking at solid wood posts on the activity centres and some of these can be bought for £130 which I think is much better value for money.  I think this particular item has been over-priced for it's gimmickyness (sp).

Edited to add - I also personally do not like it.
