Well said. But I think it boils down to this. Lego used to make the best
possible models they could with the pieces available, occasionally • inventing
and adding new elements to their repetoire that enhance realism. Town Jr. • is
the first time they have invented pieces to deliberately -avoid- having to
construct the model. And this is supposed to be a construction toy!

That is what really got me.

In the ONE Town Jr. Set I bought the base of the vehicles is all one piece.
This could have ben built from Two inverse Slopes, One 2x4 Brick and Two
Axel Plate thingies. The Finished result is no different unless I want to
pull it apart and build somehting else.  Then I'm screwed :(
