They started at $65 and could go up to $150 for each house, accessories went from $15 to $45 depending on the work. We tried to tell them, had gatherings all over the US and told them and nothing, the designers were different for every theme and they had one scale and that is what they did. We finally decided at time of display, if you had bigger things put them on the back and the smaller ones on the front, or separate them enough that the difference would not be that much. ;-)

I know what you mean! I still put up a Christmas village each year. It was challenging sometimes to make it look right!
