I was never into Little People as a kid, but Isabella has just a couple Little People things, and they are the ONLY things she's been playing with lately. I think they are so neat, and some of the playsets out right now look like SO much fun! And I really like that she likes them, because while some people may think it's completely appropriate for her to play with Bratz dolls and the like (sorry if you like them - I don't, and they are not allowed in our house, besides she's not even THREE yet), I think Little People are just nice. They're fully clothed, they don't appear to have had any type of plastic surgery recently, etc. Today's Little People are even posable, making them more fun for even the older preschool set. We're getting her this for her birthday coming up in November, and one set of grandparents is getting her this. Every time we go to Wal-Mart she wants to go look at that Little People treehouse, and push the little girl on the swing for a couple minutes. She even tells me every time (since everything is tied to the box), "ya, I can't take this stuff out of the box until I get it for my birthday." I took that as a hint that that's what she wants for her birthday! :) She's also getting some other Little People things for Christmas along with the playmat to tie everything together. I hate to say that she actually needs toys, since we have a whole house full, but it seems like most of her toys are getting so babyish for her, I really need to clean out her toy box. And her birthday and Christmas are close together, and then there's a long time of nothing, so I'm also looking forward to some different things to play with around here. :)

My bro and I had some old Little People - they were wooden. Good times. I'm SO WITH YOU on the Bratz dolls . . . and a lot of other stuff out there. Goose has the LP Nativity set (aka "Baby Jesus toys") and a small LP farm set. They get a ton of action here, too. Looking forward to hearing about Isabella's excitement - I know she's going to be thrilled!!
We like LP too. We have the Noah's Ark set and I found an OLD school set at my Dad's. Bratz for a 2/3 year old???? Crazy. I do feel like there is not much in the way of 2 and 3 year old toys especially for girls other than baby dolls and dress up. I am having a hard time coming up with anything for Maggie for Xmas that isn't electronic and super pricey!
We love little people too. We have the Noah's ark, the circus and the jungle.
Madeleine loves it! Wouldn't it be fun if we could get Isabella, Maggie and Madeleine together and get out every toy in the house? haha that is always what happens when friends come over!
