Creator is 100% compatible with System -- the _only_ major new element is
the fig. It's not classic Town, but I'd rather see a real building product

Someone mentioned that a competitor has released figs almost exactly like the

Megabloks figs? They're only about ten thousand times uglier than Creator figs.

Heck I'm thinking I'll just have to
get over my need to buy exclusively from LEGO and go to the competitor.
The truth is I'm starting to think the competitor has better stuff

WHY WHY WHY WHY?????????????  Does LEGO not give a hoot about the
ability to mix last years Christmas gift with this years of supposedly
the same toy?

IMHO, Creator is a good step back towards flexible brick-by-brick building.
What we need is more of that design in the minifig themes.
