Not to condone juniorization, but I think a little bit of it may be a good
thing. Of course, I think it's terrible to juniorize a whole theme (or
range of themes!) across the board, but since every kid is different, some
kids probably do appreciate the juniorization. I think it would be so much
nicer if, for example, there were 4 juniorized Town sets each year and 20
non-juniorized sets, instead of 24 juniorized Town sets.
