Then why didn't my friend see the Freestyle sets and say, "Ah, that's what I was looking for"? Maybe because the models pictured on the set look like something that would interest a 3-4 year old. By "dopey" pieces I mean the patterns they slap all (...) (26 years ago, 4-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Hmmm... At a guess, then: Steve was officially tapped by the Lego Group to specifically *not* play-test the new Town Jr. sets. Am I right? Or am I right? Well, I know that would make *me* pretty ecstatic. :-, Cheers, - jsproat (26 years ago, 4-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)
