I saw on on craigs list about 4 months ago for  $300/$400 Can't quite remember . I do remember thing I'd like to have it but just couldn't pull the trigger. Very cool house  looks like it belongs on a cliff overlooking the ocean

I got the emerson (the lighter version) for $99 on a closeout. Brand new, in box. It was a deal. I'm glad I didn't spend more than that - as fun and intersting as it is - these are heavy houses with some paper and particle board mixed into the design - they can get dinged up easily. But they are lovely and different.

Hmm...It depends on the price. They seem to be coveted.

Check with cloudbound (Pat). She has a brinca-dada

I thought those were really cool (obviously as my tastes run more modern) but a bit pricey.  Are you turning modern....are going to the dark side?  

looks like it listed for about $350 new and a website had it for $285 before it sold out.   You are becoming quite the collector of houses.

Wow - that is one cool house!  Is it in Oz or will it be shipped?

Weren't the Brinca Dada houses originally issued in parts?  I understood it could take quite a while to work through a subscription to get all the parts to complete one of their houses.

I don't know Holly.. I think they were kits.. not sure the company was around long.. so I'm not sure how many were made.

Good info thanks! I was going to change up the exterior finishes anyway so I'm not to worried about exterior papers. The one I'm looking at has been repainted so isn't original anyway. I was thinking on Egg carton stones for some of the feature walls.. I'm not a fan of one dimensional papers that are meant to simulate stone or wood.

What a  great house! My next dollhouse will definitely be a modern piece.

So what happened with this one Sam? Did you get it?
