The reason for making a colorforms version of the A-Frame is unclear. Maybe after a kids sugar crash its just easier to move around cut outs rather than actual 3-d furniture. =-) Looking at the box art, i wonder how the sales would have been affected if they had marketed it as 'The Barbie Califronia Dream House'. Has a nice ring to it and southern California blonds and Malibu was very popular at the time.
