I've also had another though on this. I've just finished building a bunch of
older space sets (6990, 6894, 6923, 6886, and 6811), and you know, there
aren't that many "bricks" (at least normal rectangular bricks) in these
sets, and several large pieces. I think there is a real difference between
the Arctic sets and Town Jr. (though I will grant that the Arctic sets are
more juniorized than the space sets, but it's not like they're radically
different). Now I've also built a classic space 6927, and there there is a
real difference, most of that set is rectangular bricks, plates, and slopes.
