I guess that this comment is directed to my statement about Lego disappointing me. I didn't really mean to be so cynical, I was just trying to be realistic. The town role theme really appeals to 4-7 year olds and Lego has demonstrated that they want to offer junior sets to this target age. So I doubt I will ever get the town sets I want to see. Maybe they will surprise me, but it is easier to not expect something and be surprised than hope for something which will most likely never happen. The part I don't get is that the Town sets DO appeal to girls over a larger age range than boys and the current sets are difficult to purchase for girls past the age of 5. The one exception to this is the Soccer set, this one does appeal to older girls. My problem is I don't want to fork out $50 on a kids birthday present that didn't come out of my belly. Rose
