We had tons and tons of those old toys and sold them for a song, just to clear stuff out so we could move. Sure am kicking myself now! We had all the old little people from the early 70's!AmyGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244368570893395234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-79769151063936388612007-08-20T11:52:00.000-05:002007-08-20T11:52:00.000-05:00Hey!

My nieces and nephews still enjoy playing with them, and I don't think my mom would want to sell them.

Now it's one of my kids' favorite toys at Mama B's house.<BR/><BR/>With the small pieces, maybe it's a toy for special mom time, instead of an unsupervised toy.Ann @TheAssetEdgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00198438219767685976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-61672855002602057672007-08-19T16:56:00.000-05:002007-08-19T16:56:00.000-05:00We had that set growing up!We had that set growing up!MommyLydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15608956553350425075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-91322416391802789072007-08-19T16:21:00.000-05:002007-08-19T16:21:00.000-05:00I still have my Bert.

I always wondered why they made Big Bird's head so small and round when it always looked big and fluffy on TV;) Thanks for the info re swallowing hazzard, I wouldn't have known that to look at it.

They each slide easily through a toilet paper tube.<BR/><BR/>Too bad, because the old Little People play sets are WAY more fun than the new versions.Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455517419708043340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-62240665889675006732007-08-18T20:58:00.000-05:002007-08-18T20:58:00.000-05:00I've been thinking about raiding the church nurser...I've been thinking about raiding the church nursery to sell the vintage stuff.
