It never occurred to me last year but I think Town as we knew it is dead.
The theme is now consistently referred to as CITY CENTRE rather than TOWN
and this is being reflected in the type of sets we're seeing.
Whereas previously the Town theme lived up to it's name, with Town Houses,
Gas stations, airports etc all making an appearance at one time or another
the new CITY CENTRE theme seems to be focussing on more action orientated
and dare I say it more "exciting" sets.
Perhaps TLG felt that TOWN wasn't performing as well as it did previously.
Only they will be in the best position to judge. But one thing's for sure,
as long as TOWN is referred to as CITY CENTRE I very much doubt we'll see
TLG introduce many sets outside the now common racing, fire and construction
subthemes.
