Steve,
Now this is odd because I agree with everything you had to say but I still feel
a need to play devils advocate. I will admit that I could care less what model
is created out of a certain set of parts packaged as a set. All I care about
are the parts and the value of those parts in terms of me creating my own
stuff wether it be train, town, castle, or space.
That being said I know of quite a few LEGO fans both young and old that prefer
to just collect the sets and display them as such. I think these fans are the
ones that have suffered the most from the Juniorization of sets.
I would also be remise if I didn't point out that I don't think Juniorization
in and of itself is a bad thing. It satifies a segment of the market, ages
3-6 or 7, that arn't quite ready for more complicated sets. The problem lies
in the fact that nearly everything now adays is Juniorized and except for Star
Wars, which isn't everyones favorite dispite what I would expect ;-), it is
hard to find more complicated well designed sets.
I say keep Town Jr. but also get some Town Sr. sets out there. And unlike the
UCS Star Wars sets make the Town Sr. sets to Minifig Scale.
My whole $.02 which is barely worth that.
