Customer Reviews

So Cool!
This is so cool! I have never seen anything like this. The girls move from room to room and you interact with them. The 6 little rooms are decorated with tons of tiny dollhouse furnishings. It has games and all kinds of cool stuff. It even connects to your i-Pod!! The little figures are so cute - comes with one, and you can buy more. My daughter had to beg my wife to let her play with it. With all the junk out there, it's great to see such a well made toy again.

9 year old daughter likes it
My daughter is not really into dolls or typical toys. She only asked for laptop, a Wii, more Webkinz or Pixel Chix Roomies for her 9th birthday. Thus, we bought her the roomies house. I really didn't know much about it before we bought it and I still don't. She was able to take it out of the box and play it without any help or direction. She loves it. It's portable and great for the car (with headphones.) There is also a volume control because those roomies can get loud.

The toy comes with 1 roomie and you MUST buy more so that they can interact within the house. Without at least 1 extra room mate, it a very lonely and not so fun toy. Each roomie has a different personality, Hip Hop, Book Worm, Beauty Queen and Rocker. We have them all but they all don't fit in to house at one time, so you don't need to have them all.

We ended up buying the extra roomies for about $6-10 each at Target/Walmart stores as they were not available at amazon.

She is able to link this house up with her other pixel chix toys as well as her friends pixel chix toys. So she can play with it alone or with other friends and they all have fun.

Amazon had the roomies house for $44.99--less than any other store (online or brick and mortar) with free shipping, too.

This was a successful 9th birthday gift for my daughter.

My nieces seem to like it enough
I hadn't even heard of Pixel Chix or their Roomies House before my nieces (yes, both of them) told me this was what they wanted for Christmas. Their wish is usually my command and so I ordered one for each of them. They seem happy enough with the toy but my sister now has the unenviable task of marking each piece of each toy to avoid any confusion if anyone's pieces go missing. Ah, the joys of parenting.

At any rate, I asked the older of my two nieces, aged 11, to write me a brief review for Amazon and these are her exact words. She agreed with me that we should give the item four stars overall, as she has one quibble as you'll see:

"I like the Pixel Chix Roomies because of the fun of rivalry because all the roomies argue and bicker with each other! But it's also fun to watch them cooperate and work together. The hard part is that sometimes they don't really turn off when you want them to and to get another Pixel Chix in the game you've got to buy a roomies pal piece. I think it's really cool how each one has a different style and favorite food too."

And there you have it. I asked for brief and that's exactly what she gave me. Bless her. They're happy though and so I'm happy. You can't say much fairer than that.
