so a printed vest is less violence than a made one??? where is the logic? I would agree with you if Lego would not only make the sets smaller...LEGO items are getting smaller but the price is getting higher..it is a very easy way to calculate...you have to devide the price by the number of pieces so your result would be the price per piece...than you would realize, the reasons of my disappointment...sets are getting smaller,there are more printing parts instead of real parts and we have year by year higher prices....so how I could be amazed...of course I agree that 2 or 3 city items for 2013 like the helicopter or the burning house look really cool..but I have to look at the whole number of sets to judge abouth the trend...the majority of sets got worse or get smaller comparing to past sets... Lego should really watch, cuz not all buyers are kids between 5-9 ...there older kids, teenagers or even adults like me who like to make Brick Displays and city dioramas ...and if lego will continue like this,people like me will buy less and less newer sets and only focus on getting older sets on amazon or ebay or even consider other products...cuz at the end of the day I expect a reasonable quality for my money...and if Lego continues delivering less for more money, than they might lose some long time costumers
