Well my limited empirical evidence would suggest otherwise. My 2 1/2 year old
son doesn't like to build, he likes to play (or take apart). One feature of
Town/Train Jr seems to be no working doors. Guess what he likes to best about
my Lego? Yes, you've guessed it, doors! He just loves to open and close the
doors.
