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 6349 Holiday
Villa, 6388 Swiss Chalet, and 6641, 4'Wheelin Truck. When this particular
model finally arrived in the mail, it took some time getting me to open it. It
was in it's original plastic wrapping with it's original K-Mart price tag of
$14.96. It is purely original LEGO.

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.
