Why does small = juniorized? LEGO has a long history of producing sets
which are just a part of a building, evoking the entire building in the
mind of the user.
If REAL = fully detailed, you're setting your expectations too high. TLG
won't make those kind of sets very often.
In my mind, 'juniorized' means both made with just a few big parts, and
badly designed.
So, if you want to knock this set because it uses POOPs, go ahead. But
don't knock it because it's small.
