The ‘Grand Victorian’ model (pictured on top) starts at $19,999 and includes such unnecessary amenities as “…a wraparound porch, elegant stained glass window, window boxes full of fresh blooms, a sunny skylight, and a working doorbell and brass door knocker. Inside, the decorative details continue with a bay window with a cozy window seat, sponge-painted walls, simulated hardwood floors, fireplace mantel and an upstairs loft accessed by a ladder.”
The ‘Cotton Candy Manor’ (pictured on the bottom) starts at a cheaper, though equally ridiculous, $9,599. And both playhouses come with the option for miniature matching furniture like a playable grand piano, kitchen appliances and even spaces for TVs...

People who buy such expensive presents for their kids, should be spanked with a tire iron.

I just applaud the person that found such a great way to take advantage of the rich.

I don't agree that the "wrap around porch" is an unnecessary amenity. It's a nice detail that adds to the overall appearance of the finished product. But yes, I agree that it's expensive.

The problem is not only thats its too expensive, the problem is that presents like these rob your children of their imagination.

As kids we played day-in day-out in the woods, we built houses, castles and forts  out of a few sticks. And to us, it really was a castle. We saw it. And if we needed an additional staple or a jail for the redskins (yeah, yeah i know) then we just built one. Took us seconds. Everything was possible.

Imgagine that with a house like the above. "But it doesnt look like a staple, daddy... wahahahah"

Kids who get presents like the above, become tomorrows assholes.

Not a real diverse group of kids there.  Are extra white kids the only ones with parents stupid enough to buy something like that?  I imagine after they grow up making a big warm bon fire on a cool night.

have fun watching your kids not play on it? Love, to the people that buy these things, 20 thousand dollars is nothing. Some spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a night out. I on the other hand had a better house than all of these. Made of the biggest TV box you've ever seen, equip with tunnel, chair and table. all made of box. It was awesome.
