I'm also not inclined to worry that there's a cardboard backdrop in a
set. It's been done before, and I doubt it adds much to the cost of the
set. If it makes the set that much more desirable for the targeted
market, and therefore more successful, I'm all for it if it's cheaper
than some mega juniorized piece. Heck, it's gotta be cheaper and better
for the environment that those vacuum formed plastic doothingies we've
seen before...
