From the looks of the new 2000 catalog scans, town looks like dying in 2000.
In fact its called City Centre now, and the age range is reduced from 5-12 to
5-8.

But where's the city centre?
And where are the buildings?
Just another, even more junior, fire station.

This theme is not city, its vehicles.

Sure the new road pieces look interesting, but where does this road lead? To
old town sets of course.

At least the old town sets I have will be worth more now!

regards
lawrence

(...) Town has been around since 1955, the first of the LEGO Systems. And until 1966 (when Trains came on the scene) it was the only LEGO System. I don't think that there is any worry about Town disappearing. Just some years are leaner than others. (...) (25 years ago, 11-Nov-99, to lugnet.town)
