RARE Vintage Fisher Price Little People
#2552 McDonald's Play Set
Complete + BONUS!
EXC--NEAR MINT! (M)
You deserve a break today...""I'm lovin' it....." "McCafe..." "Egg McMuffin," "Big Mac.." Think about all the new nomenclature that has evolved with the creation of the McDonald's Restaurant chain. Here for your perusal is a 100% COMPLETE, Fisher Price Little People #2552 McDonald's play set. Manufactured for only one year (1990), this toy is exceedingly hard to find with all its pieces and in this kind of condition (EXC--- MINT). NOTE: This is the original version of this set. It featured the original Little People, NOT the chunky figures. This set is coveted by collectors and children alike:) To add to the fun, I've inserted 7 more Little People figures and 5 extra vehicles. After all, when haven't you seen McDonald's crowded!
The toy itself features a highly entertaining, slide-out playground with a McDonald's shake riding toy, a gobbling cheeseburger slide that opens and shuts with the push of a lever, a french fry mini-roller coaster, and a merry-go-round. One can even "launch" one of the Little People aloft on the blue catapult lever to land inside the cheeseburger and slide outside via the slide. What fun!
This Vintage Fisher Price Little People McDonald's Restaurant Play Set has an "automatic" front door (the character steps on the step and the door opens), a drive-thru window with slide-out tray, an order counter complete with a cash register, a revolving menu board on the back door, and an indoor eating area. When the characters are finished eating at their table, they can slip away onto the playground by dropping through the escape hatches. All the moving parts are fully operational.
The plastic surfaces are bright and colorful and are devoid of any cracks, chips, breaks, repairs, abrasions, scratches, or discolorations (NEAR MINT). After close scrutiny, I can detect:
1. A couple of tiny rubs on the Hamburger's eyes; and
2. Some soiling on the underneath side of the pull out base; this will be eradicated during the cleaning process.
An examination of the original lithos (e.g. the revolving door, the Fisher Price logo, shaker litho, the McDonald's litho) are in EXC condition!!!. Noted "flaws" include a crease between the "c" and the "D" on the main McDonald's sign, some loosening of the McDonald's litho on the opposite side of the sign, and another vertical crease down the center of the shake litho. I will be repairing the loose spot on the McDonald's sign so it will not cause any future problems.
A number of accessories and Little People accompanied this set. With the exception of the McDonalds sign, all are in MINT condition. You will be receiving the following original accessories and Little People:
1 RARE Ronald McDonald;
1 RARE Hamburglar with red gloves, black mask, and hat (MINTY MINT);
1 VHTF brown trash can;
1 VHTF McDonald's sign (one 1 1/4" L x 1/2" W bubble/crease down one side of the McDonald's litho; other side has one loose corner which I will be fixing with Rubber Cement);
1 VHTF french fry cart);
1 RARE white/blue car w/front and back seats and fins (NOTE: This car is unique to this set. A couple of the car's wheel caps show a tiny amount of rust; I will be treating these wheel caps with Naval Jelly; this should alleviate most, if not all, of the rust);
1 VHTF tall, coral bodied Mom w/black pony;
1 VHTF green bodied boy with black molded hair (NOTE: this is one of the variations Fisher Price used in the production of this set; instead of always using the yellow bodied boy with black molded hair, they sometimes used the green bodied boy I have inserted here); and
1 RARE short, orange bodied girl with rust sculpted hair.
To add to the number of open-ended play possibilities, I have included the following BONUS pieces which are in MINT condition:
1 ALL PLASTIC, green bodied Dad with heat stamped black hair;
1 ALL PLASTIC, blue bodied Mom with blonde pony;
1 RARE, ALL PLASTIC, blue bodied Dad with heat-stamped hair;
1 RARE, ALL PLASTIC, yellow bodied girl with black sculpted hair and a white collar;
1 HTF, ALL PLASTIC, green bodied girl with blonde sculpted hair;
1 HTF, ALL PLASTIC, yellow bodied, Grandmother with white hair in bun;
1 ALL PLASTIC, red bodied boy with yellow cowboy hat;
1 RARE, white/yellow, one seater car with luggage rack;
1 RARE, all red, two seater car with front to back seats and fins;
1 HTF, green/white, two seater car with front to back seats and fins;
1 HTF, all yellow Taxi with two seats front to back and fins; and
1 HTF white/red Mini-bus (think school "field trips" or a "birthday party").
Please note I'm being super "nit-picky" in describing this set. Most sellers would not even mention the minor aberrations I have disclosed. In fact, many of my previous customers have stated that their purchases from me have FAR EXCEEDED my descriptions. Don't take my word for it; check out my feedback.
This set would make an INCREDIBLE addition to someone's Vintage Fisher Price Little People collection or for some special child to receive. What a RIVETING toy to have at Grandma's house for when the grandchildren come to visit!!!! What little one doesn't enjoy pretending they're going to McDonald's?
I will be thoroughly Q-tip cleaning this play set with a child's toothbrush, toothpicks, and Q-tips before I send it to its new owner. I spend a MINIMUM of 1 1/2 -5 hours cleaning each and every VINTAGE Fisher Price Little People play set I sell except for those clearly marked in My Rough Room. I utilize a variety of cleaning products: Dawn w/anti-bacterial ingredients, Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser, Goo Gone, Soft Scrub, Comet, Chlorox bleach pen, Crayon Away, Naval Jelly, Armor All wipes etc. My sets are SQUEAKY CLEAN!!!
NOTE: THIS VINTAGE PLAY SET IS NOT PART OF THE RECENT FISHER PRICE RECALL. THIS SET WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE GOOD OLD U.S.A. 29 years ago!
DUE TO SMALL PARTS, THIS TOY SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN TO CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 3 OR TO CHILDREN WHO ARE STILL MOUTHING THEIR TOYS UNLESS THEY ARE SUPERVISED BY AN ADULT.
This set weighs approximately 4 - 4 1/2 lbs. UNWRAPPED. My zip code is 47905 (INDIANA).
