I bought the 7902 Doctor's Car ($8) today from TRU and I have to say, it is very
cool. It has a style really similar to the old Town sets (pre Junior), lots of
good parts (two cabinets!) and some really new stuff:
I like the new wheel fairings a lot, though I have no idea how one has to work around their strange shape. (For the record I like the way the Ford Focus looks, as well as the New Beetle, so...) The new bracket pieces that hold the lights on I think are going to be very useful somehow. The very small slopes of the headlights plus the curved roof piece I think go a long way to increasing the detail of the car without resorting to gimmicky texture molding.
The colours are really nice, back to the old primary colours of Lego Town. The
model itself has a very iconic "toy like" feel to it. That's cool, I miss that
with Lego in recent years. It's the first time in a LONG time I've bought a
Lego set based on liking the look of the model versus buying it for pieces.
I hate to say it, but I was pleasantly surprised, as I was with the Technic
Street Bike and the Excavator I got earlier. Now to get that Ambulance and the
fire truck from last year...
