>>7013477I don't think it's fair to compare a Fire theme to the other themes, because the others are further removed from reality and can stray a bit further from reality. Any good Fire theme has a fine line to walk between reality and imaginative play. I'm not disagreeing that the station build is uncomplicated. Lego and Enlighten both understand that kids are more interested in play than detail with Fire sets. At the same time, a set ceases to be recognizable as a Fire set if you move too far from real life. I'm fine with it.
I will say that it would be interesting to see how a Fire subtheme would look if every theme had one (Castle, Space, etc).
