Neat Ideas... I thought the (URL) was a bit weak on its own. It was a nice set, but didn't have any companions sets, really to increase the fun. I thought the (URL) station itself had some good concepts, but still had some negative attributes (like (...) (21 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.town, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

How about an Airport Firestation? You could have the airport firetrucks, training area (old aircraft the set fire to) etc. This could nicely tie the theme in to a future new airport range. Richard.

(...) I like the way the Police sets were done. You got a SUV (and a nifty "armored car") with the building. I thought the building itself was a bit simplistic, but had great parts.

Dear Lego, This tub would sell. Add some trees, a few horses and maybe a peasant figure or two - with pitchforks.
