Wow! What an interesting topic. I think 1987 was a fantastic year for
Legoland town sets. There were a lot of terrific new releases at that time
such as 6393, 6379, etc. Additionally, there were also plenty of mid 80s
sets that were still available for purchase, such as 6385, 6392, etc.
Indeed, 1987 saw a plethora of great town sets. Oh, how I miss that time...

Michael
