2140 has no "Town" label on it. But it's in a blue background box like
other Town sets.
I prefer to proceed the other way:
2140 says "LEGO System" on it. Therefore it is not Technic, nor Duplo,
nor Primo.
Given that it is "System".. is it Space? No. Castle? No. Pirate? No.
Aquazone? No. Therefore it must be Town.
I would prefer to classify sets in a logical manner, not be enslaved to
whether Lego put "Town" on the box. This clearly is a town set by the
subject matter.
Would you argue that 6397 is not Town? It has a blue background box but
no Town markings.

| (...) That classification doesn't work anymore. TLG is coming out with new themes that don't fit under the big four; Aquazone was the first of these. And besides the theme classifications, there has always been Basic/Freestyle and 'unclassified'. To (...) (26 years ago, 4-Jan-99, to lugnet.admin.database)
