I'd say that comparing 6407 to 672 is comparing 2 sets that were marketed to the
same demographic group a generation apart. All things being equal, the newer
set is less satisfactory because it does not make good use of two-decades worth
of development and craft in designing a model.

So where do I go if I want to build in Town? Lego gives me two options: Junior
or back to Duplo. Fact is, today there is no intermediate stage between Duplo
and Town System. There is no Duplo-Junior-System range. All we have is Duplo
and Duplo Sr., or, if you like, Town Junior and Town Infant. I don't like
juniorized sets, and I don't buy them. My beef is that I can't buy non-
juniorized Town sets.
