Welcome to the real world... I used to collect the Christmas Houses made by Dept 56 (in fact they are all still on a warehouse), and they never got it right with scaling people to buildings, cars, etc., and each and everyone of those houses and accessories were very expensive. They started at $65 and could go up to $150 for each house, accessories went from $15 to $45 depending on the work. We tried to tell them, had gatherings all over the US and told them and nothing, the designers were different for every theme and they had one scale and that is what they did. We finally decided at time of display, if you had bigger things put them on the back and the smaller ones on the front, or separate them enough that the difference would not be that much. ;-)
