Why do you think that price per piece did go up on the sets? Is it
the "juniorization", to use your word, of the larger less building intensive
pieces? And what do you mean by inspired?

Well we all have our opinions. Did you like the Islanders subtheme from the
Pirates line?

Sadly, perhaps, I find your ideas intriguing and good. Again a matter of
opinion. I would love to see sets like those you described if for no other
reason than to have an environment LEGO has never touched upon. The best
lines in my opinion are always the ones set in the freshest and most original
settings. I don't know if you saw my other post about possiblities for this
line but some of my ideas were for sunken ships or a subtheme pertaining to
ancient Greece or Rome. What do you think? Let me hear some of your ideas or
wishes for this line.
