Rational choices need evidence!.( The > 'evidence' I get here on Lugnet is usally to the contray.) What kids are these? The juniorized sets are always the ones sitting on the shelves forever, even at 75% off sales. (can you say roadside repair) I dislike the junior sets ( as an AFOL) and my 4 year old dislikes them. Try playing on the floor (carpet) with a junior set. It FALLS APART within 5 minutes. It may build fast, however it doesn't last. I get tired of rebuilding these "brittle" sets, thus they are hardly played with. My son prefers my older fire sets like the Flame Fighters. The set has a GARAGE door, good parts and detail and it stays together. He also loves the start wars sets. He begged me to buy him a megablocks set the other day, I reluctantly agreed. The silly set just falls apart all the time, sounds familiar. I just got the Millenium Falcon for my birthday. Great set and it stays together well even for my son. I am the mother of two small (boys) children and I watch the store shelves and hear comments from all my friends (mothers) and I can tell you that you are marketing to some ghost children, at least here in Idaho.

These juniorized sets have so many big specialized parts that it is very unconvenient to store them. The only (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.dear-lego)
