At least the hinged things SEEM to be the older style 5 finger (car roof) hinges
rather than click hinges. But I wonder if this is a photo from the older
artwork, perhaps retouched, rather than from the newer.
If they switch this over to click hinges I'll be disappointed but probably will
still buy some.

I missed out on that but I have enjoyed my used copy a lot. I am very happy to
see this come back. Century Skyway is one of my favorite town sets. I think it's
a better choice than http://guide.lugnet.com/set/6392 although that one is also
quite good
