Hmm. Maybe that's the real reason for juniorization -- kids (and parents) want
the impressive big sets, (most) kids don't really want to spend that much time
building. So LEGO makes big sets with fewer, bigger parts.
That doesn't explain the *small* juniorized sets.
And it doesn't help those who actually buy a building toy with the expectation
that they'll be spending time building.
