According to Brad Justus last year at Brickfest, it was the kids that really
ate up the "majority" of the Guarded Inn... My guess is that they're trying
to cross breed the "kid" and "adult" market as much as possible. IE make it
as appealing as you can to both markets. Would adults love a 497? Sure.
Would kids? Nah. Would adults love a Battrax? Sure (maybe not as much I
guess). Would kids? Sure (At least I'd think so more than a Galaxy Explorer).
