Vintage Fisher Price
Play Family #930 Garage
Complete + Bonus
NEAR MINT/ (Y)
Here's a CLASSIC play set, Fisher Price's Little People Play Family Action Garage (#930) that is 100% complete and in NEAR MINT condition! This play set captured the hearts and minds of many preschool youngsters. I've configured this offering to coincide with Fisher Price's 1980 production run.
This is an INCREDIBLE set (NEAR MINT)! All the lithos are firmly attached and brightly colored without any tears, fading, creasing, or stains.
THESE ARE ALL THE ORIGINAL LITHOS. I DO NOT USE REPLACEMENT LITHOS ON MY SETS. IF A LITHO IS MISSING OR DAMAGED EXTENSIVELY, I OCCASIONALLY OFFER THE BUYER A REPLACEMENT LITHO. HOWEVER, I DO NOT APPLY THESE LITHOS MYSELF. I LEAVE IT TOTALLY UP TO THE DISCRETION OF THE BUYER WHETHER THEY WISH TO UTILIZE THESE. I DO NOT FEEL ANY REPLACEMENT LITHOS ARE WARRANTED ON THIS BASE---THE ORIGINAL LITHOS ARE INTACT AND FULL OF THEIR ORIGINAL COLORATION.
After repeated close inspections, I can only detect the following minor flaws on the EXTERIOR and INTERIOR lithos:
1. One, 3/8" L x 3/8" W rub on the outer brown litho area abutting the Parking Garage landing;
2. One, 1/8" L x 1/16" W mark on the brown outer portion of the number two parking spot;
3. One, 1/4" L x 1/4" W bubble on the number four parking spot; there are also two small bubbles on the brown trim next to the same parking spot; one is on each side of the underlying column;
4. One bubble, measuring 3/8" L x 1/4" W, in the brown outer area between the number one and number two parking spaces;
5. One small rub (@ 3/8" L x 3/8" W) on the number two parking slot;
6. A couple of minuscule bubbles ( ranging from < 1/16" L x 1/16" W to 1/8" L x 1/8" W) on the number two and number four parking places;
7. Three medium sized bubbles (@ 1/2" L x 3/8" W) on the front half of the compass litho on top of the elevator shaft; and
8. A handful of minuscule bubbles on the main Fisher Price litho on the front of the Garage. These are exceedingly hard to see. I only detected them by holding the base up within 3" of my eyes and rotating the base in the light; otherwise, they are not discernible.
I know this sounds horrendous but I'm being super "nit-picky" here because I do not want to disappoint any of my customers. In general, I would categorize these lithos as being in EXC+++ -NEAR MINT condition. The front elevator litho, the gas pump lithos, Service Center Department litho, and the grease pit, sidewald, pond, and remaining lithos on the Masonite base are in MINT condition.
The plastic surfaces are MESMERIZING! Other than some faint surface scratches on the white ramp, these surfaces are pristine (NEAR MINT)! I have gone over this set with a "fine-toothed comb" and there are no cracks, breaks, repairs, "dings," discolorations, or chips on any of these plastic surfaces. The colors are bright and glossy and look BRAND NEW!
The elevator, stop signs, bell, and carousel wheel all operate as designed. All four corners of the Masonite base are intact and free of any cracking, layering, smushing etc. There is a small water mark stain on the front edge of the masonite base near the gas pump. The underneath side of the masonite base is free of any marks or stains. Finally, the bell is free of any pitting, dulling, or rust and the gas pump nozzle is devoid of any "nibbles" or "chews."
Topping off this stunning base, I've included the original four, single seat cars, the four, all plastic Little People, and the car lift that came with this set.
NOTE: The car lift came to me without a litho on the end. Fisher Price added the litho to some of the lifts but omitted them on others. If you purchase this set and wish to have a litho on the end, I can send you, free of charge, a reproduction litho you can put on the lift. Also, in full disclosure, while the crank moves the lift up and down, it sometimes "hitches" or is difficult to run; I will be correcting this during the cleaning process. It will work smoothly after I finish cleaning it;
To add to the fun, I've inserted four additional single seat cars and four more all plastic Little People. All of the vehicles, lift, and Little People are in NEAR MINT-MINT condition. The vehicles have retained their bright, original coloration and are free of any "dings," abrasions, scratches, scuffs etc.
In summary, you will be receiving the following accessories and Little People:
1 HTF garage lift
1 RARE blue/white single seat car without Fisher Price being written on the wheels of the car;
1 HTF green/white single seat car without Fisher Price being written on the wheels;

I WILL BE Q-TIP CLEANING THIS PLAY SET AND ALL OF ITS ACCESSORIES PRIOR TO SENDING IT ON TO ITS NEW OWNERS. I SPEND ANYWHERE FROM 1 1/2-5 1/2 HOURS CLEANING EACH AND EVERY VINTAGE FISHER PRICE PLAY SET THAT I SELL--EXCEPT FOR THOSE CLEARLY MARKED IN MY ROUGH ROOM. My play sets are IMMACULATE!
NOTE: THIS VINTAGE FISHER PRICE PLAY SET IS NOT PART OF THE RECENT RECALL OF FISHER PRICE TOYS MANUFACTURED IN CHINA. THIS VINTAGE TOY WAS PRODUCED IN THE GOOD OLD U.S.A. 39 YEARS AGO.
DUE TO SOME SMALL PARTS, THIS PLAY SET SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN TO CHILDREN UNDER 3 YEARS OF AGE OR TO THOSE CHILDREN WHO ARE STILL MOUTHING THEIR TOYS. ADULT SUPERVISION IS SUGGESTED UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES.
This set weighs approximately 6 - 6 1/2 lbs. UNWRAPPED. My zip code is 47905 (INDIANA). Due to its size, it will require an over-sized shipping box. I will probably be shipping this set via Fed Ex Home Delivery. I will need a residential address, not a P.O. Box, and a contact phone number (e.g. home, cell, or work place) to complete Fed Ex's paperwork. Otherwise, they will not accept the package for shipment.
