Vintage Fisher Price Little People #2552 McDonalds Play Set Complete/VG++!

Vintage Fisher Price Little People #2552 McDonald`s Play Set Complete/ VG++ (More photos below)

Here is a 100% COMPLETE, Fisher Price Little People #2552 McDonald's Restaurant Play Set. Manufactured for only one year (1990), this toy is exceedingly hard to find with all its pieces and in VG++ condition. 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:)

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. "Geronimo!"

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, or discolorations. After close scrutiny, I can detect:

1. A couple of faint scratches on the green corner next to the Hamburger;

2. Some moderate rubs on the Hamburger's eyes);

3. Some white scratches and some stray white and black marks on the brickwork of the restaurant; I believe the marks will come off with a careful cleaning; an application of Armor All wipes may help minimize the white scratches; I won't know till I try; and

4. A few miniscule scuffs/scratches on the brown roof.

All of the lithos, including the one on the shake toy, the revolving door, the Fisher Price logo, and the McDonald's sign on the restaurant itself are intact. The lithos vary in condition. Noted imperfections include:

1. Other than some light soiling, the revolving door and Fisher Price blue litho are in MINT condition;

2. One, vertical hairline crease down the center of the shaker litho (VG++); the rest of the shaker litho is great;

3. Two vertical bubbles/creases on the main McDonald's litho (VG++); these flaws are located on the "D" and "l" in McDonald's logo.

I have downgraded this set from VG++-EXC to VG++ purely on the basis of the aforementioned "imperfections." This is still a "SWEET" set and one that a beginning collector or some lucky youngster would be proud to own.

Accompanying this RARE set are:

1 RARE Ronald McDonald (EXC-EXC++-- several pin-head size rubs/paint loss on the his left sleeve and elbow; some minor paint loss on his right white collar and at the top of his tie; otherwise, he is in FANTASTIC condition (NEAR MINT);

1 VHTF Hamburglar (EXC++- NEAR MINT-- pin head rub on his right index finger along with a teensy indentation);

1 VHTF brown trash can (MINT);

1 VHTF McDonald's sign (MINTY MINT);

1 VHTF fry cart (EXC-EXC++-"hint" of two teensy nibbles on one of the fries);

1 VHTF yellow/white car w/front and back seats and fins (NEAR MINT--some dulling on the wheel caps; I'm confident that these will brighten considerably following a generous application of Naval Jelly; NOTE: This car is considered a variation that Fisher Price utilized in some of their McDonald's play sets in lieu of the white/blue or blue/white cars with fins; the yellow/white car was only used in the McDonald's and Neighborhood play sets);

1 VHTF tall, coral bodied Mom w/black pony (MINTY MINT);

1 VHTF yellow bodied boy with brown molded hair (NEAR MINT--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 yellow bodied boy I have inserted here; this little guy exhibits some minor edge wear around the back lower margin of his hair; this wear is approximately the width of a human hair; the rest of the piece is FABULOUS); and

1 RARE short, coral bodied girl with brown sculpted hair (NEAR MINT-- a couple of faint indentations on the back of her hair; this piece was likewise used as a variation for the orange bodied girl with rust sculpted hair).

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 a FANTASTIC 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 grandkids come to visit!!!! What little one doesn't enjoy pretending they're going to McDonald's?

I will be thoroughly cleaning this play set with a child's toothbrush, toothpicks, and Q-tips before I send it to some lucky winner. 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. 23 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).

Preferred payment is via PayPal. Payment is expected within 5 business days.

The price listed is for the item itself. The total amount due will be the purchase price of the item + the ACTUAL shipping cost to deliver your item to you. All shipping costs or extra fees (in the case of Canadian shipments) are the responsibility of the buyer. I will do everything in my power to find you the cheapest shipping rate—-whether it’s the USPS (First Class, Parcel, or Priority), Fed Ex, or UPS. I DO NOT PAD MY SHIPPING COSTS—-NEVER HAVE AND NEVER WILL! I SHIP WITHIN 48 HOURS OF A CLEARED PAYMENT.

I primarily utilize Fed Ex Home Delivery for items exceeding 5 lbs. in weight, measuring greater than 12 inches in any dimension, or traveling longer distances. I’ve been finding Fed Ex has been running @33% cheaper than the USPS (including Parcel Post) and UPS Ground. FYI, another benefit of using either Fed Ex or UPS is that their quote includes up to $100 worth of FREE insurance. Additional amounts of insurance may be purchased for a nominal fee (that is much less than the USPS). Fed Ex also provides automated tracking updates re: your parcel’s whereabouts directly to your personal e-mail account.

In order to ship Fed Ex (or UPS for that matter), I MUST have a residential or work place address, NOT a P.O. Box number, as well as a home or cell phone. Otherwise, they will not accept the shipping paperwork or transport your item.

Since Bonanza's shipping calculator does NOT offer Fed Ex Home Delivery as a shipping option, PLEASE DO NOT SEND PAYMENT UNTIL I HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MANUALLY CHECK THESE RATES AND INSERT THEM INTO YOUR INVOICE. Otherwise, the shipping calculator may overcharge you.

Packages traveling to Alaska or Hawaii will be shipped Parcel Post via the USPS. Insurance and delivery confirmation are required.
 

I’m more than willing to combine multiple purchases into one box whenever it is safe to do so to decrease your shipping costs. Once again, PLEASE wait to check out until I can combine your purchases on ONE INVOICE and can calculate their combined shipping rate via Fed Ex. If you pay for these items separately, I get charged multiple transaction fees by PayPal plus you get over-charged on your shipping. Of course, I will refund you any amount over $1.00 that you've overpaid on shipping. However, it's easier on both of us if you wait until I can send you the correct amount.
 

I’m more than happy to ship selected play sets to Canada and Australia. Remember that shipping to Australia can be quite expensive so please contact me for a shipping quote before you purchase an item. I will attempt to find the cheapest shipping rate possible. Also, Australian and Canadian customers will be responsible for any brokerage fees, Custom’s duties, or VAT’s imposed by your governments. I am not responsible for these charges. Insurance is required for all international shipments.

Last, but not least, I offer a 10% discount for orders totaling $125.00 or more.

ALL SALES ARE FINAL. NO RETURNS ARE ACCEPTED. I have attempted to bring any noted "imperfections" to your attention prior to your purchasing the item. However, I'm only human. If I have missed something or you have a problem with your purchase, please contact me prior to leaving feedback.
