Hot Christmas Toys 2008: 50s Diner from Step 2

882100_popup.jpg

Remember the whole EZ-Bake oven set ups that kids used to have and were so popular? Ummm...I mean, I never PLAYED with one, of course...errr...uh...who am I kidding? Those things really worked and you could make some pretty great things from there! Yes, I did partake in some "testing" of food from there (I never did don an apron though). Anyways, I digress. In the same mode as the EZ-Bake, the 50s Diner from Step 2 brings the elements of "Happy Days" and while it doesn't cook food like the EZ-Bake (Darnit!) it still is a very cool item. The specs:

* Kitchen includes oven, grill, fryer, icebox for storage and sink for cooking and cleaning
* Patron side features attached booth-style seating for dining and can also watch the cook
* Electronic service bell lets the server know when kitchen orders are ready for serving
* Silver-metallic divider window gives the diner a classic retro feel
* Retro style tabletop features a jukebox that plays three 50s-style tunes
* Special griddle pan and coffee pot activate electronic sizzling and bubbling sounds on the stove's front burner
* Accessories include: coffee pot, griddle pan, dishes, silverware, cups, spatula, ice cream scoop, sundae dishes, deep fryer, and ketchup & mustard bottles
* Play food includes: burgers, fries, hot dogs, ice cream, cones, sundae fixings and pie
* Made in USA of US and imported parts (accessories, jukebox, burner, service bell electronics, ice cream door, faucet and oven door made in China)
* Requires 4 "AA" and 2 "AAA" batteries, not included
* Adult assembly required


I am impressed by the detail on this, and while it's on sale--it is still about 120 bucks to purchase, so it would definitely have to be a "crown jewel" for a child this Christmas. But believe me, they'll get hours and hours of fun with this!!
