Benjamin,
Thank you for sharing this with us. I find it interesting that this news
came up.
The fact that Lego has produced a new set of road plates
(http://catalogs.google.com/catalogs?dq=&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&issue=15302&catp
age=37&zoom=1) may indeed point to a new town theme offering.
A recent Lego Shop at Home catalog showed the road plates being used with a
combination of Jack Stone & conventional mini-figures. (I could not find the
scan in catalogs.google.com ). I just hope that we don't get an expansion of
the Jack Stone sized products under the "World Town" name.
Shouldn't the 2003 catalog popped up in sets by now? I have seen the leaked
retailer catalog scans, but I'm surprised the 2003 pack in catalog has not
surfaced yet.

Kmart Brunswick - new WIDE roads.
Picture shows "Cre8r"&"Jax" dudes living in relative harmony with "Minis".
No 2003 catlogs though. Sorry didn't check price.
I am happy to see new road plates, I used to love mixing up my Road, Crater
and Space roads when I was little. It seems strange to me that TLC no
longer offer non-town roads. I know there's the occasional dirt road or
river in big sets, but just imagine(...) if these were available separately.
Also, (he adds in a Philip J Fry voice) I like that the Jaxters are mixing
in with Mini's. I have to admit, at first I considered them an abomination,
but I'd grown to accept Fabuland and Technic-guys in my Lego-universe (as
well as aliens and monsters) so why not this logical next step. If I'm not
careful my love of the NBA skin-toned minis may lead to acceptance of
Belville - shock horror!!
Anyway YAY for Road plates.
