Sometime in the 70s and 80s, three different toy companies produced three different Sesame Street playsets that included the 123 Brownstone and Hooper's Store. I know Fisher Price was the first to come out with this, and I know later on Playskool made one and another company called Illco. In your opinions, whose was the best and whose was the worst?

For me, I feel Fisher Price's was the best, their versions of the building was pretty accurate and realistic, even the lithographs on the outsides look pretty real (even though the interior lithos look rather cartoony), not only that, but the Little People they made included human characters Gordon, Susan, and Mr. Hooper, and how often do they do this for the human characters?

As for the worst, I feel Playskool's was the worst, although I've never actually had anything to do with this one, looking a photos of it at places like eBay, it just LOOKS pathetic, in fact, it looks a lot like a simplistic version of Illco's.
