Okay, IMHO, BURPs have great potential and you can do tons of stuff with them.
<grin, duck, run>
I just moved and left my BURPs at my old house - you wouldn't believe how much
I miss them...
And, you couldn't create a hollow effect using other bricks.

Agree on those points.

Well, personally, I love the raised baseplates and the castle walls.

See? You proved my point about BURPs - you found a way to use them.

I like all these stuff too, and wouldn't want to see them disappear.
Personally, I think the really bad juniorization is the Town Jr. using HUGE
wall pieces (and car chassis') that could be EASILY replaced by normal pieces,
and would look better that way, too.
I agree with Richard's saying about the 12 brick high columns (In fright
knights), I like them too. I think that the best way for TLC to deal with this
(if they decide too, that is) is too decrease the *quantities* of such pieces,
so that people who hated them wouldn't have much of them, but people who liked
them could have. (And if bulk buying will be possible, that would make life
easier for everyone...)
Just my 2 cents worth...
