Well, I don't hate Town Jr. so much as I lament the lack of "real" town sets.
And the idea of it spreading to other themes really disturbs me.
On reflection, I think this (the palm tree thing) is much more of a cost-
cutting move than a simplification; the set itself is otherwise reasonably
classic in construction.
One other thing I forgot to mention: it has about a dozen 2-brick-high 1x2
bricks, in lieu of standard 1x2x1's. Better than a 1x2x5, I guess...
I saw a few more Town/Spaceport sets today. The chunky boxes are really
annoying-- to a new buyer they probably won't register, but as a long-time
follower of the company it just seems like a cheap ploy to me. Probably
neither here nor there, though... it's just a box, after all.
