Hi Frank,
Unfortunately I don't have a way to get pictures because I only access the
internet at work. Hopefully someone else will be able to provide scans.

I never thought about it that way. Perhaps you're right, and maybe TLC WILL
create new buildings for a town theme. I just hope they're not ALL
reflective of the Jack Stone style.

I also have noted that there aren't many town kits for older builders. I'm
guessing not many kids build cities anymore and that's one of the main
reasons TLC discontinued the product line. I guess I can only keep hoping
for change in the near future...
