Personally, I wouldn't buy the Jack Stone sets for anybody...
first price vs. quality factor... those sets are trash....plain and simple
If your children are young ~5 to 8....Creator line is a lot better.
Age 6 to 9...the town junior sets (still available....fire fighter's HQ)
Age 8 and above....Town Classic...on E-bay.
I wouldn't waist anything on Jack Stone....awefull looking architecture...
the one "redeemable" feature on Jack Stone...is an ordinary sort of character
like Jack...helping out...if not leading the firemen (fighting the fires),
and the police officers (chasing the bad guys!!).
You are right there is some things over-priced now adays....Alpha Team Bomb
Squad...the ATV set, and the others aren't so bad. The Creator line, of course
Jack Stone...(you already know my feelings with that!!), Life on Mars....
almost useless, in my opinion, especially with the martian tube set....yikes!!!
Oh and all the soccer sets released earlier this year....except the Woman's
Team...that wasn't too bad...the sets released last year are pretty good, but
the Euro World Cup Soccer promo sets from Shell are better, except the "play
board", well they look more professionally designed....the Lego Soccer sets
(44XX series) are too juniorized, where as the Euro sets (43XX series) are
more a classic design....

| (...) Actually, I kind of like the Jack Stone sets. It would be nice if they were a little cheaper, but they actually look half decent, and they've got some neat parts. It would be real cool if the stucture parts were available in large quantities, (...) (23 years ago, 1-Jul-01, to lugnet.loc.ca.on.tor, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
