It's not strange to think that IMO, but I have a suggestion: take another look
at the HP line, only this time, try to imagine it through the eyes of a 10 year

As an exclusively MOC builder, I wish so many cool parts came in "normal"
colors, but I always remind myself that LEGO is a toy intended for kids. *They*
will always be the primary markets for this product...
