To All,

If you look at SaH, they now have 3 new re-releases: 8460( as 8431)(WOW!),
8417 (as 8430)(well...) and 6332 (as 6636)(WHAT??).

They are actually re-releasing the Town Jr Police HQ - and they even call it
a "classic" set!!! Talk about degenerated words - if a (bad!) 4 year old set
can be called classic, then what is a yellow castle - pure archeology?!??

That is really bad, but it least it isn't a Legend series. Here is a link
for people to see it:

I just don't see any kind of line in TLC's policy on re-releasing.

I think Brad Justus from LEGO Direct said they only plan to do releases on
things they can make, that don't require new tooling, such as the Spruce
trees. I am not sure if the Classic line falls under that or not. It might
explain this station though.

There are much better police stations to re-release, IMHO.

Classics like 370, 585 or 588.

Minifig stations like 6384, 6386, 6393 or 6540, 6598.

This is bad to see, I would have thought Town Junior would have died off,
but it keeps re-awakening! : ( Please put some resources into better sets,
rather than this station!

(...) snip (...) ooh! sets 588 & 6384 *sniff* there's something in my eye! *sniff* I LOVE those two stations. I remember part of the ad on tv in USA about 588--I had to have it. I got it for Christmas I was probably around kindergarten-ish then. (...) (22 years ago, 31-Aug-02, to lugnet.general)

(...) very nice, except the police station... ;) (...)
