Or, you could be optimistic, and say that since the Town Jr. kids are
not old enough for more mature town sets, maybe LEGO is waiting a year
or two, and they they will introduce bigger town sets.
But I think the main thing is that little boys (and let's face it,
LEGO's customer base is almost entirely boys - but that's another rant
for another day) might like to play with fire trucks and stuff like
that, but bigger boys are more interested in video game science
fiction types of things, like Star Wars or Bionicle.
