I think that's unlikely. It certainly *decrease* the appeal to me. That's
obviously a small sample size, but I've been right before. :)

Possibly. I don't mind the not-exact-classic-smiley faces, but I *do*
prefer the ones that are more generic, simply because they're more
versatile. It's the whole issue of "one-use" playsets versus a building
*system*.

I've yet to meet I kid who *cared*. I mean, really.

It's been a really really long time since they made an incompatible change
in minifigs. 25 years or so. With all the "back to core values" rhetoric,
it seems weird to screw with this.
