Title: Barbie Dream House - No sound when delivered
Review: My 4-year old daughter certainly loved playing with this on Christmas morning, but none of the sounds worked after it was assembled. Three sets of new batteries were used to try to get the sounds to work, but to no avail. The people at the Mattel hotline said there was nothing that they could do, that there isn't a part to send to me for replacement. They suggested I take it back to the merchant. But since it's so huge and purchased online, sending it back isn't practical. No complaint against Amazon specifically (they sent a sealed box, ahead of schedule), but purchasing online makes it difficult to take care of defective items. The price on Amazon was the best I saw ($89 and change), but after I purchased it from Amazon, I saw the same price at Toys R Us and Wal-Mart. Purchasing there would have provided an more practical option to have the defective toy replaced.
