I'll second this emotion. I used to buy many of the smaller sets to boost
my collection. I recently went to the local retailer to see what 1999 was
ushering in and was sorely disappointed. After much scrutiny, I still
bought a couple copies of the same set, but not until I was sure that it
hadn't been Juniorized. I guess I'll have to settle for accessory packs
and basic brick buckets, at least there I'll know what I'm getting into.
Talk about an ingenius way to curb the LEGO habit.
