Description: The Western Town, one of the finer crafted 1980's playsets, bears more than passing resemblance to the #937 Sesame Street Clubhouse. As well it should--the clubhouse base mold was switched around and modified to create the western set. Features that remain intact from the #937 include the walkway mechanism on the roof, the lift-up door flap, and the stairs going up to the second level.
Though the box and '82 dealer catalogue features a sherriff with a silver star badge, it's the orange-star version who's much more common. Of course, the rarity of the silver star version has nothing on that of the stagecoach roof, a sure sign of an often lost--and now pricey--accessory.
Like all the best of the Little People toys, the Western Town lasted just two years before being discontinued, although a 3-pack of Western people (#676) designed to be accessories for it began production the year that the #934 ended. That makes sence. The cowboy and indian figures, although colored differently, were sold until 1990 in the #676. The dainty western lady who was sold with the Western set was totally disconinued with the western set in 1984.

Variations:
- Western Town Base Variations:
- B934WO - Western Town base without the attached F934 roof flap.

This design allows the flap to lay flat to be used as a roof, or lift up to play inside the Western Town. *Note: This flap will fit on the #937 Sesame Street Clubhouse base, but it is not the correct piece for the #937.
