Well, I guess 2001 will be a love-hate year. Either you love it or you hate it.
A lot of long-term fans will love it for new part-colour combos but incumbant
fans will hate it cause of a lack of great set designs. Maybe we can say, "2001
- The beginning of the end of the evil Town Jr" I can hope can't I?
There will definitely be more for next fall (i.e. Harry Potter) and maybe the
boat will begin to turn back to the Sea of Great Design (circa 1979) but don't
forget it will be a long voyage. :-\
