I think that if LEGO-Direct allows us the possibility to buy bulk
orders, then Juniorization may be a moot point.  If you buy a LEGO set
that is originally intended for children anyway (based on TLC market
studies), the asking LEGO-Direct to change this to AFOL desires doesn't
make much sense.  Just replace those 1x2x5 tall beams with (5) 1x2
bricks from your new bulk inventory.  Or build it from scratch using
those bulk inventory pieces.

But I don't think we will get very far by asking TLC to de-Juniorize
these sets.  They weren't originally meant for us anyway.  What good are
a bunch of small pieces in a set if TLC goes down the tubes because kids
today don't have the attention span to want LEGO anymore?

My 2 cents/pfennig/centimes worth,
