Well Eric, Thank you for this great post!  Looks like Town went out with a
whimper.  Maybe it'll come back after a while looking lots better...  If this
information and the photos get any clearer, I think my 2001 LEGO budget may go
into Life On Mars and the Alpha Team, of course I'll likely be getting the
Star Wars sets too.  But lawdy sakes!  Another Trade Fed. Droid set?!  Why
couldn't it have been an Imperial Troop Transport!?  I still don't know what
to do with my Trade Droids yet...  Looks like I may be spared from buying as
many new 2001 sets as I have 2000.
Is there any change to the Castle lineup?  If not, then I think that Bulk
Bricks and the Chrome Knights may be the primary choices in my "non-new" LEGO
budget.
Happy building to ya!
Aaron :o)
