Not sure if these are leaked but this is what I saw:

The LEGO Store at the Rockaway Mall in NJ has both the new fire truck 7239 and
the new fire station 7240.

I couldn't resist buying a 7239 set since it's one of the most realistic looking
fire trucks I recall LEGO ever producing (this is the point where the Town
experts flame me with references to superior fire truck sets from LEGO years
long gone by ;-).  I figured it would fit in with my train layout.  I was
surprised to find "5+" on the box and the picture of a very small child on the
back playing with it.  It's 214 pieces and looks somewhat detailed.  Maybe looks
are deceiving and it's actually pretty juniorized.  I won't know until Christmas
since it's going under the tree along with the rest of the family gifts.

Cheers,
Paul D.

I found both at the Valley Fair Lego store in San Jose, CA. The Fire Truck is
not juniorized much. Just the base of the truck and base of the ladder. In
addition to having 2 red, 2 trans yellow and 6 trans blue 1 X 1 X 2/3 Slope
Tiles there were two each of two new parts I have never seen before. There are 8
of the new fenders also. I am writing this from memory as I am somewhere else
from where the fire truck is. In fact I am thinking about getting two more to
part out.

(...) SNIP (...) SNIP (...) how juniorized? is the truck base 1 piece or multiple large pieces? I noticed a lot of the new town vehicles in these pics have the same wheel configuration, but different distances apart.
