Indeed. Outside of the minifig, it it not that great. Both
of them really lack the entusiasm as the 1980's early sets.

Town Junior has some good parts, which can make for better
MOC's, Chris Leach does a good job, among others. I think
most of us feel that the Town line died in 1997, when City
Center came about. I feel that TLC did substitute Town
Junior / City Ceneter in for Town. That Town Junior / City
Center naming still bug me. I think that is where most of
the disagrements and bitterness comes from. I think if they
had two different lines would have been better, for the
younger and older crowd. Now that both of them are gone,
hopefully TLC can turn it around. I share most of the
feelings of people posting on this earlier.
Did TLC ever say anything about the advent of a Town
advanced line perhaps?
it is a sad thing to see, but I hope they can turn it
around, and make something better than their previous
attempts. the train sets, the SW sets, and the bulk packs
are a great direction, and I hope to see more in this lines
in the future.
