Fisher Price Little People

Has anyone else found that the people aren't interchangeable between different sets? We have found that they have different shaped holes under their feet so they don't fit on other Little People sets. It kind of defeats the purpose IMO. I don't think we'll be buying any more.

They all seem to fit on ours...

Saturn74 · 04/04/2007 19:28

We've never had any problems with them not fitting other sets.

ComeOVeneer · 04/04/2007 19:28

We have the farm, the train set, zoo, garage, plane, Noah's ark, castle, playground and the fire/ambulance station and they all interchange fine.

WelshBoris · 04/04/2007 19:29

We've never had any trouble and like COV we've got lots of sets.

How bizarre! We have the train, garage, house, bus and waterski sets plus some loose people, but only recently tried moving people around. Thanks for your replies.

Are they similar age? Perhaps they have changed the shape over time?

PrincessPeaHead · 04/04/2007 19:45

nope, I agree! Some of them don't fit on others. The ones that fit into eg a tractor and trailer that we have (which make a noise when you push them down) don't fit into the carousel of the sort of Town set that we have - the hole is too small

Its a pity because we'd like to give the farmer a go on the carousel, he'd enjoy it I think

anyway you aren't going mad or anything

we have the garage from ds1 (brought about 3years ago) and the plane for ds2 (brought this xmas) and the garage people don't fit on the plane. Both just have round holes but the garage people are slightly smaller.

clayre · 04/04/2007 19:45

ours fit fine, noah from the ark is always driving a sports car from the garage!

WelshBoris · 04/04/2007 19:46

My princess often goes for a spin on the skateboard.

Not you PPH obviously

ComeOVeneer · 04/04/2007 19:48

Isn't the farmer with the trailer not actually little people though, just from Fisher price? If it is the one ds has then it isn't meant to work. This has made me realise my kids have far too many toys

WelshBoris · 04/04/2007 19:50

My farmer with the trailer, with all the animals that make noises when pressed down are from Toys R Us I think.

< I agree COV my DD has too many toys aswell>

PrincessPeaHead · 04/04/2007 19:50

hmmmmm
that is possible, comeoveneer

he still looks like he would benefit from a bit of R'n'R on the carousel

PrincessPeaHead · 04/04/2007 19:51

It is DEF fisher price, Welshy. Are you implying that I might buy my children Cheap Knockoffs?

PinkChick · 04/04/2007 19:55

some could be little tykes as opposed to little 'people'!, i bought some of the little tykes of ebay, not realising and they dont fit anywere as their bottom hole s smaller!

PinkChick · 04/04/2007 19:56

and the plane is very tight to put anyone on, even the people we got with it!

ChasingRabbits · 04/04/2007 20:21

that's true about the plane, but the plane people do actually go on, whereas the garage people don't...but then maybe they are just scared of flying.

PinkChick · 04/04/2007 21:04

LOL!..yeah knew little people person ' tony the terrified traveller'
