I am delighted with the lack of mini-figs. Lack of mini-figs means the Lego
designers are entirely free to choose the scale to suit the subject (and I
guess the parts budget for the set). I have noticed this year that there are
many more sets which are not to mini-fig scale - and they happen to be the
ones I want the most.

The fact that Lego sells squillions of Bionicles and Jack Stone despite
their general unpopularity with AFOLs tells me that Lego understands the Kid
market, and

Well, let's scroll back to 1979 or so. Let's imagine that SW, Classic Space
and Real Space are all on the shelves. If it was me as a kid, no contest, I
would have bought SW. If it was my Dad, no contest, he would have bought
Real Space. No doubt, Classic Space would have lost out every time.
The main reason we I love my Classic Space is the warm memories, and it was
the only space sets available. Does anyone remember when Blacktron came out
with a walker (6876) and an X-Wing (6887)? Do you remember wishing for a
real AT-AT and X-Wing?
