Hi all,

Now I'll just sit back and watch the sparks fly, I think.

Hmm, it's wandered into a discussion of juniorization, here's an
interesting quote from a parent:

My son has a collection of these "custom lego sets" . He simply puts them all into one big box
and creates his own designs with all available parts. Initially I tried to get him to keep the sets
apart, but soon found that this way is much better!

(The previous post was talking about juniorized sets and calling them
"custom sets.")
