| I was on brickshelf and saw this: (URL) looked at the new airliner sets and had a question that I wanted to present to the AFOLs of the world. Is Lego attempting to phase out the minfig and make the Jack Stone type figure the new figure? Or is the (...) (19 years ago, 6-Oct-05, to lugnet.market.shopping)

| (...) I think that Lego are trying to use the pieces in new ways (which is what Lego is all about really). Those sets are most definitely minifig scale. If you look closely, they do actually have a mix of large, one-use parts and small, normal (...) (19 years ago, 6-Oct-05, to lugnet.market.shopping, FTX)

| (...) I am wondering if they simply might be taking an 'easy build' approach as they did with last seasons large dump truck. "Easy build, quick play". It doesn't really matter to me, though.

| (...) I agree. When I saw these new planes I felt thoroughly disappointed and uninspired. My hunch is that they're looking to put a 5+ age rating on the box. And if that's the case, I can't blame them for thinking they have to juniorize something. (...) (19 years ago, 7-Oct-05, to lugnet.town, lugnet.build, FTX)
