not bad. I like the building techniques. I deffinatley want this for my collection. My initial critiques are that this stlye looks very american (even without the flag). The other buildings have more of a european feel to them. I dont think it fits in the same row. It would however look awesome next to my bank building. It may be difficult to fit a modern fire truck in the bay. at least the height clearance is sufficient. Unlike the first buildings I think I would not be scared to alter this one. I have already made quite a few mental changes to the design of this one.

I will be getting one too, but I agree it looks out of place next to a Green Grocer. I want to see more pictures of the engine. By the looks of the back pic there is extension on the garage because the engine is too long for the firehouse.

Did you guys build your City Corner's yet? I'm still waiting for the Tow Truck and Camper to appear at TRU Stores. Lemme know if you see them and I can pick one up before the meeting on Fri!

It went on sale today on Shop@home for $199, in addition to the Tantine IV, which looks like a sweet set.
