While I do agree that these are great models (I thought it was a picture of a real home depot in the brickshelf gallery thumbnail), I have to disagree that every lego town needs one of these. I typically model dense urban areas where these stores (...) (24 years ago, 24-Jan-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town, lugnet.general)

I can't take credit for this but I just needed to point it out because I like these designs and I even thought of doing the same thing too. I think this is what would complete any lego town. (URL) (24 years ago, 24-Jan-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town, lugnet.general)

Modularisation I think has to be the way forward, so that a small set can function perfectly on its own, but when combined with a larger set provides enhanced playability. Designing sub-ranges that link together like the examples you site (including (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.town)
