'''American Girl Minis''' (also known as ''A*G Minis'' or ''AG Mini Rooms'') are [[Miscellaneous Products|collections of miniature rooms]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
The A*G Minis line was released in October '''2000''' and was advertised for children eight and over. The basic setup consisted of a [[Illuma-Room|light box]] that could include a [[Dust Cover|clear shield]] for the front and a [[AG Mini*s Drawer|drawer]] to store small parts in. The sets were small and elaborate. Each set had wallpapers, furniture, lights, and other small details to make the room look realistic on a small scale, much like a doll house. A complete room was around $178 (much more than a doll) and decor sets were about $20. Initially, add-on items were separated into categories: "Lil' Basics," "Lil' Pets," and "Lil' Extras." American Girl dropped the "Lil'" category names for the line in later years. By 2002, the core items were simply called "Basics," and the add-on pieces were separated into "Lights and Electronics," "Pets and Playthings," and "Room Accents." <br />
<br />
American Girl also offered "Starter Sets" with accessories and a [[Power Platform]]. These were shown on their own, paired with a drawer, or used as a rooftop platform on regular rooms. American Girl continued this pattern with later releases. For instance, a [[Power Platform|platform]] with accessories such as the [[Rooftop Patio]] cost $72 and would be a smaller investment for customers than a $178 complete room. Starter versions of full rooms were also available, such as the Loft Apartment Box Set, which contained an [[Illuma-Room]] and basic decor for $84. <br />
<br />
Minis components went on sale for up to 50% off by April 2003. American Girl released three final items early that year: the [[Paddock]], the [[Blue Room Add-Ons]], and the [[Purple Room Add-Ons]]. <br />
<br />
The line ended in '''2003'''. Speculation is that much of the electric wiring was defective which either caused electrical shorts or failure to work. According to former employees, the line was discontinued following [[Mattel|Mattel's]] purchase of [[Pleasant Company]] due to the high cost of manufacturing.<br />
