Hi, this is my first post!!
This is a very interesting topic for me. I collect LEGO since 1978, when I was a child, and I always admired the idea of a full town (with a lot more than police, racers, etc). The current line of City I think is headed in the right direction, with an amazing detail level, and new sub themes like farm.
Still I miss the big (for their scale) family houses of the 80s!!!
