I'll agree here. The problem I see is that there already are lego sets and
themes designed for younger children: Duplo, Fabuland, Basic... If they
'juniorize' the older kids' stuff, then what's not to stop them from
juniorizing things like technic, etc? The point is that the line exists for a
reason... dumbing everything down to the lowest common denominator may increase
your popularity on that level, but it neglects the levels above.
Perhaps the place for town junior is BASIC stuff that comes with simple
instructions... A brand new market geared towards bridging the gap... but at
any rate, I think town Jr. *can* exist without sacrificing town 'Sr.'
