     Exactly, exactly.  Although I wasn't as consise as I could have been, what
I'm trying to say is that the "fairy tale" and "interior designer" sets imho
should be related to a greater belville umbrella that would also encompass
themes that relate back to the other system sub-themes like fire, rescue,
police, space, knight's kingdom, etc.  How about technic sets that seem really
appropriate for belville figs like this year's "hot rod" re-issue".  I wonder
why tlg didn't have this idea when they got rid of the "technic" minifigs.
Either way, I'm gonna be on the hunt for some technic automobile sets.
