There is no relation at all.  They are a true mystery, because they look
more like something between Duplo and System (yet Duplo can work with
System!).

That is exactly what they are for. There is an age range of *children* who
are too old for DUPLO, but too young for System.


I sincerely hope that LEGO takes a big punch for this one series,
perhaps it will hurt them so bad they'll ditch it after 6 months and bring
out a new series of Town (like the stuff from 1989-1996!) with no junior
instructions (One booklet per set!!) and a nice selection of multi-useful
parts that are NOT juniorized.

Please keep in mind that wishing for bad things doesn't help anything...and
also remember that this product line was created *for* juniors, so a little
juniorization is not a bad thing.
