I don't have the scenes and settings. I couldn't afford them back when they were out. I am thinking of adding them to my e-bay wish list, but they seem so big and look hard to store. Any thoughts on this?
I decided mine was a magic book, and whenever they pull it out they go back in time to 1904. That way I'll get some use out of those historical outfits [img]wink.gif[/img]

They are very tall and wide but only about 5" wide on the spine so you could probably slip them inbetween things for storage. I just got mine about 11:00 this morning so I haven't used them yet, but I think they'll be fun even if I barely have any Samantha collection stuff. Now I want one for each girl so they can time-travel to other time periods.
Sam's cost me $61. Other people said they rarely go below $80, but someone else got theirs for around $54.
I couldn't afford them when they came out either, and my mom wouldn't buy them for me. I actually think I'll use them more now than when I was little because my mom would have been afraid I'd ruin them and I wouldn't have been able to set it up myself.
They don't weigh alot but they are kind-of akward to carry.
I only have Sam's and it's permanently opened to the bedroom scene because I have Sam's bedroom set up in a display. I love the scenes and settings, and I wish I had gotten Molly's when they were out. But sadly I wasn't exactly in to the historical aspect of the dolls at the time.
Luckily I got Sam's in Goodwill for about $6! Ok, so my mom did. I only wish I'd have more luck with some of the other scenes and settings.
I have Molly's and Samantha's Scenes and Settings and just LOVE them both!! They are easy to store even though they are big---I store mine up at the foot of the bed between the footboard and a trunk when I'm not using them. To me, they just make all the accessories and clothes come alive---love to set up the kitchen for Molly (with my wolverine refrig etc), Molly's camp, or classroom. Also, they are wonderful backdrops for photos. I highly recommend them.

I have them all and I hate to say it, but they never get used. They are gorgeous, but we just don't get them out. They store really easy since they are flat. I didn't pay over $50 for any of mine and that includes shipping so keep looking and you can find them for about the same price as they were new.
I have Felicity's and Kirsten's and hope to eventually have the rest too.
I like using them primarily for photos. One day when I have a doll room they'll be up for display all the time like I used to do. But for now they only come out at picture time. Mine store nicely between the couch and the wall. They also will slide under beds/couches. They're actually pretty easy to store because they are so flat.
They are gorgeous, but I only wish they hadn't made Kirsten's cabin at Christmas. It kind of is annoying when it is April and Kirsten still has her Christmas tree up.

I have Molly's and Sam's, and I think they are wonderful! I mostly use the outdoor scenes, and Molly's classroom. I think that Molly's are the most versatile because the scenes are still fairly relevant to today, so they can be used with the Today dolls too. I didn't pay all that much for mine either. I think Molly's were around $45 with the shipping, and I got Sam's on ebay too for just over $20 from someone here in my town, so I was able to go and pick them up. They are pretty large, and they are also made of foam core, so you need to have a nice flat space to put them in because they can get holes and gouges in them. Someday I'd love to add Kirsten's to the collection, and I would also love it if they came out with a new set of them for the today dolls.
