Anecdotal as these examples may be, I have experienced the very same thing
-- overhearing a child or parent talk about needing to get a more complex
set than the juniorized sets provide.  Even if TLC does extensive market
research (which I assume occurs, although I don't myself know the facts of
it), I find it hard to believe that their conclusions can so wildly disagree
with what all of us AFOL know intuitively and overhear in the toy stores
besides -- essentially, that even children do NOT want juniorized elements.
I don't know where the problem is, but I suspect it has to do with the
nature of the market testing.

Something is amiss...
