| I suppose a lot depends on who it's targetted at. Level of juniorization and model scale are big questions. Classic cars at the mini-racer scale (meh, ok)? Minifig scale (neat!)? Model team scale (drool!)? Considering that it sounds like it's a S@H (...) (18 years ago, 15-Feb-06, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| (...) Everyday buildings, yes, yes, yes! But make them realistic, solid, and either 3-D or at least a substantive facade (i.e. doll's house style). None of these "breezeway" buildings. Bridges are of less interest to me, but 1-2 on the same scale as (...) (18 years ago, 16-Feb-06, to lugnet.lego.direct)
