Greetings from a newbie! I hope and wait for a revival of Town, definately. I still find it hard to except all those "ready-made heroic saga"-themes TLC has lately created (except for Johnny Thunder's loose storyline which fits my personal "Lego mythology" nicely :) ). For me, the original and on-going appeal of the bricks and figs have been the freedom of creating and imagining you're own tales, and this is what I'd like to pass on to my own kids also (and maybe build the Legoland City that I've always dreamed of along the way...). I was thrilled when they came up with the new Creator House set this year, although in the end it was a slight disappointment - more a minifig-scale model of the house then a house for minifigs.
In fact, I'd like too see Town and Trains somehow combined (like they were, unleast loosely, "back in the good ol' days"), kind of like "The Train Town", with rolling stock, stations, depots, cargo and logistic facilities etc., but also houses, shops, town hall, town square (1592 is my all-time favorite set), maybe even whole street sets like 6390/10041 or 1589 (sorry, dropping numbers there...), and of course, something I've always hoped to see, a church. Police, Fire Department and Hospital would be there too, of course. To expand it, there could be a monorail, cabs, busses and coaches, airport, and of course, the harbour... And all this would add up to a Lego Model Railway World. *Sigh*Yeah, as if it could ever happen...
I also love Beagles idea about the retro town theme, 1920's, or even end of the 19th century.
