Juniorization? I don't think we are talking about the same thing here.
The subject is not the racer series from last year (juniorized town type
sets) but the newly introduced ugly... things.
We can not talk about juniorization about them because they are not
juniorized. Because they are not Lego. They even make juniorized Lego
sets look like a holy grail. They are the kind of simple plastic toys
that you can buy from any toy store, generally imported from far eastern
countries like China, so generally very cheap, most probably much
cheaper than TLC prices.
Actually the caption from related lego.com shopping page says it all
"Build it…race it…CRASH IT!"
Yes, I want to "CRASH IT!"... with a sledge hammer.
