It never occurred to me last year but I think Town as we knew it is dead. The theme is now consistently referred to as CITY CENTRE rather than TOWN and this is being reflected in the type of sets we're seeing. Whereas previously the Town theme lived (...) (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)

As someone who uses all sets as parts packs, I have to say that I am relatively pleased with the additonal pieces. The large Castle set has 16 blue corner steep sloped bricks. Wow that's probably a record. And the 4 in grey are another great (...) (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)

The Castle pictures also look slightly color distorted. The arches on the right side actually look blue (1x6 and 2x6), but the side away from the viewer looks grey. Hmmm. Colored lights do make it difficult to tell. Gary Istok (...) (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)

In the 200 catalog, the two soccer buses are listed as being for ages 6-16. I may be wrong, but I do not recall ever seeing ages above 12 (maybe Model Team went to 14 but I'm not sure). Is this the first set ever listed for up to age 16? Also, I (...) (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)

From a purely "parts" perspective, 2000 sets will be nice. The large castle set has at least 16 of the 2x2x3 blue corner extreme slopes..... horrray. The Soccer set has 4 of the gray corner extreme slopes... yes! And someone said orange concave (...) (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)
