I've been putting the last few finishing touches on Lena's (and Ian's) house this week, and one of the final decisions that we have to make is whether or not we can fit a record player into the space! I didn't really have this in my original plans, but then I realized that not only has Zuru come out with a Mini Brands record player and accompanying surprise balls, but MGA has followed suit and done the same exact thing with their Miniverse line. Sounds familiar.
However, I think the release date of these two products was exactly the same, so it's not clear what (if any) copycatting was going on. The companies are very competitive these days, with a lot of parallel products. I wonder if there are spies or something who try to figure out what the other company is doing all of the time? Maybe that's too dramatic. I tend to act as though I'm living in a movie.
Anyway, today Lena's going to help me explore both record player options and see if she'd like to try and fit one (or both?) of them into her home:
