Well they have had the odd town set since then. But I guess some of the
subthemes they want us to pass for town...like Race, Life on Mars, etc.
We have the 2 newest lego Legends, but these are re-issues, along with the
Gas N Wash Express (another re-issue).

schedule for 2002 goes like this:
Retail: StarWars Ep. II, Extreme Island sets (supposed to compete with
Megablocks Skateboard sets), Studio's Monster line-up, Harry Potter II
(Chamber of Secrets) as far as I know (was revealed).
That goes up to probably October. There might be "surprises" like we
already had, ie Town Legends and Sante Fe this winter, and the Blacksmith
Shop (MOC) set. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more sets that
came out, but probably not from Space, unfortunately, for obvious
marketing reasons, (not for preference reasons).
