I'm sure part of the selection was because they wanted to include sets of
different sizes. There also may be issues with production on the sets you

Street is rated 95. All very close, all VERY highly rated. You put up sets
rated 49, 65, 56, and 93. With all due respect, I don't think your example
holds water. Also note that those high (public) ratings undoubtedly helped
guide Lego in their selections, so it's still a case of blame the public.
