    As someone else pointed out, those windows are prints: you can just make them out as a separate part in the inventory on the box shots.

    I think the idea that there is a shift to interior (and kid oriented) from exterior (adult oriented) design is false. The PR showed they are still interested in decorative, architectural exterior. People have always called for more interior detail on these, and they are doing a good job IMO of finding the balance between the two. In this particular case the outside is a little plainer because it's an older run-down building. That they are giving this mix of different types of urban form is, if anything, one of the more adult-oriented things about the line, as those cues about the different economic status of particualr buildings are quite subtle. The little "story" here is just some fun attenton to detail, and certianly not a sign of a "dumbing down" or kiddfying of the line. I really find that a surprising line to take. The other point for those fretting about the line is in it's on a clear upswing. I think the cinema is easily the weakest; and while I quite like the town hall, I can understand why some aren't keen on it either. However I think PR was an instant classic and this one in my view is very solid too.
