Instead of Juniorized they could be cost cutting measures, one piece vs 5 or
6?
Who knows....there are days I think we're (as in the older lego crowd, 20+)
just thinking 'that's the way it was and we liked it' (Dana Carvey's Grumpy
Old Man) when we talk about what we don't like about the new sets.
I mean, back in my day, you didn't have those namby pamby wheel thingies.
you built one wheel out of 48 pieces of legos and it stuttered on each
turning because there was no such thing as a ROUND lego. That's the way it
was and we liked it!
