Background:
What a cool set! My nephew and I won this set MIB just a little more than a
week ago on eBay.. I love it! My nephew and I have recently been on a shopping
spree of old LEGOLand favourites, aquiring about 20 sets in the past two
months, including the most recent additions, MISB editions of 6373 Motorcycle
Sales & Service, 6388 Swiss Chalet, and 6641, 4'Wheelin Truck

MODELS: There are two models.
Black car-Once again, your classic LEGO car. This one is based on the
small car chassis with two standard tall slanted windshields in clear and
sunroof. One of my favourite small car designs.
House-A very nice one indeed. The base is a very rare driveway plate
with cobblestone pattern (has appeared in only three sets. Twice in green and
once in pastel green) and car port. There are two entrances, main and side, as
well as five windows throughout. The first floor features a table next to the
entrance with telephone and a neat little stove with overhead exhaust. There
is also a dining room, which is lacking one chair. The second floor is a 4x6
simple bed using 1x2 "L" pieces for pillows. I've noticed that has LEGO aged,
thier houses got less detailed (I have the three last houses LEGO made, and
feel they each have the least detail). However, since this is LEGO, a few more
pieces and the house becomes perfect.
OVERALL: Wow once again! A perfect addition to your resedential area. My only
complaint is lack of detail in some areas. Where is the living room? And a
bedroom has more than just a bed. Some little touches, though, and everything
is fixed.

My views on CLASSIC TOWN as a theme:
By far the best sets ever made. Why not again LEGO? I love them. Everything
about them is just so wonderful. Detail, piece assortments, variety. Maybe it
will happen again one day.
