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??).


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

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!

I thought that was what Creator and Jackstone were about... :)

The Gas N Wash Express (Classic Re-release), Breezeway Cafe (Legend) and
Pizza-to-go (Legend) make great re-issues.  Town Jr. Police Station does
not.  Parts availability should not be the primary factor in releasing
a set.  The Town Jr. set does have some decent parts, but not for $65.00 US.
Just my opinion, naturally.
