Here's a charming VINTAGE FISHER PRICE #74733 HIDEAWAY HOLLOW BUNNY HOME for your consideration. Manufactured for only one year (1997), this set is EXTREMELY hard to find complete, let alone in this condition (EXC++-NEAR MINT), with its original box, and with its original instructions!
The set comes replete with its original bunny family comprised of Dad, in an aqua vest, Mom, with a removable purple skirt, and Baby with an light blue sleeper and bottle. Their home is concealed inside of a foldable tree house (great for storage). The upstairs loft is a bedroom where Baby bunny can curl up for a nap with his favorite blanket. Downstairs, there is a pull out kitchen where Mom can prepare their meals, including carrots and other delicacies. Also on the lower floor is a common living area complete with lithoed storage containers and a toasty fireplace. Being accustomed to outdoor living, the Bunny family often eats their meals outside on top of a tree stump. The top of this stump swivels to reveal a concealed snack of milk and cookies. Baby bunny often likes to sit on his outdoor lithoed blanket and take a sip from his bottle while Mom swings on the outdoor swing. Sometimes, Baby bunny likes to play "Hide-and-Seek" by crawling under a leaf overhang and sitting on a secret bench or watching the fish in the little nearby pond. Mom sometimes bakes their favorite special dessert, strawberry pie. In addition, the set comes with a purple storage chest that opens and closes and is handy to store Baby bunny's aqua blanket when not in use. All of the characters have maintained their original bold paint colors and are fully posable. A number of "add-on" mini-sets were offered to extend the play opportunities afforded by this set. I have a couple of them listed, MIB, for your perusal.
Other than some wrinkles and bubbles in some of the lithos (most prominently on the pond litho, the outdoor blanket litho, and the upstairs loft blanket litho), this set is in PRISTINE condition. Nothing is broken, cracked, discolored, stained, or marked with extraneous pen or marker decorations. The box, while crumpled in spots and exhibiting its original price tag and residual tape, displays wear. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best, I would award this box a 7.5-8. It still makes a great display piece plus it details of the accessories contained within the set itself. Many of these accessories are EXTREMELY rare (e.g. strawberry pie, aqua blanket, tree trunk, swing) and can cost up to $12 a piece if you can find them. This offering contains ALL of the original components.
This set, with its original box, will be shipped in a protective box. Its UNWRAPPED weight is 3 lbs., 12 oz. My location is Lafayette, IN (47905). Due to its size, it will probably require an oversized box.
I will be thoroughly Q-tip cleaning this set and all of its accessories prior to shipping it to its new owners. My sets are immaculate!
I'm more than willing to combine purchases to save on shipping costs. ALL I ASK IS THAT BUYERS CONTACT ME PRIOR TO PURCHASING MULTIPLE ITEMS SO I CAN MAKE A COMBINED INVOICE. OTHERWISE, THE BONANZA SHIPPING CALCULATOR MAY OVERCHARGE YOU ON SHIPPING AND I WILL BE CHARGED MULTIPLE TRANSACTION FEES BY PAYPAL.
I check all the carriers (USPS, Fed Ex Home Delivery, and UPS) to come up with the cheapest shipping options for each and every customer. In order to ship either Fed Ex or UPS, I must have a residential address, not a P.O. box number, and a home or cell phone number. I'm not sure, given the size of this package, which carrier will be the cheapest. Therefore, if you wish to buy this item, please contact me first so I can explore the shipping rates and provide the cheapest shipping rate on your INVOICE. All shipping quotes include the cost of insurance. Both Fed Ex and UPS include up to $100 worth of FREE shipping insurance in their quotes.
I'm willing to ship items to Canada and Australia. However, be advised that the shipping costs to these countries are much higher than here in the mainland United States. If you wish to obtain a shipping quote prior to purchasing the item, please contact me and I will research the shipping costs. I charge the ACTUAL shipping rate. I utilize First Class Priority International for packages weighing less than 4 lbs. and USPS Priority International for packages heavier than that to Canada. All packages to Australia will travel via the USPS. International customers are responsible for any inherent Custom's duties or brokerage fees.
