re-ment glut! glut! glut!

Three boxes of re-ment arrived over the weekend, and they are three of the best sets I've ever bought - Mom's happy kitchen, Elementary School, and the new petit drugstore sets.

Somehow re-ment manages to push the level of detail higher each time, while still maintaining a $3-something price.  Usually when a toy gains popularity, the product suffers.  Not re-ment!

I already have probably 4 kitchen sets, but I absolutely needed "Mom's Happy Kitchen." Somehow they found another original theme for a kitchen set!  everything in this set is cute - the apple-shaped timer, little cup-muffins, tiny origami animals on the baby set, and of course, those awesome mushroom containers full of candies and animal crackers. 

My favorite piece though, has to be the working flip-top lid on the sauce bottle that comes with the omlette set.  it's about 1/2 cm across, yet it flips open and seals tightly shut.  they've done sauce bottles in the past with perma-shut or -open tops.  my eyes got HUGE when I fiddled with the new piece and it snapped closed.  Fantastic!

I still have the fairyland tea-set and the vintage appliances on the way, and I just preordered exciting treasure.  Can't wait!
