I don't really like the over use of the word juniorisation... Please don't make our board look like this other forum...
The sets have always been <insert that tiresome argument>. It was the case, even during the classic space periode, with those giant blue domes.
I think the fact is that most people have a biaised opinion on how sets were before. If you look at some old space sets, it might just make you throwing up instantly.
I much prefer the town sets we get today comparred to the old ones. I really think the use of 6 studs instead of 4 is better for the vehicules and I think that if lego now release shops and houses with the design they used in the 2005 year, it can only be great :)
