I actually did pick up the smallest sets as well and I'd agree. The 4910 is a standard little set. I think it is because they couldn't fit any Jr. into a set that small. But with the strange shaped base and the roof pieces, it is the most non-blocky (...) (26 years ago, 14-May-99, to lugnet.general)
