I agree with you both. I love add-ons, and they are much better than mini sets. However, if a mini sets came out just 2-3 weeks after a full set, I wouldnt mind. What bothers me is when BA makes us wait 4 or more weeks for a set, only to release a mini set, then makes us wait another 4 or more weeks for another set. Maybe what truly bothers everyone is when he treats mini sets like regular sets? That bother me for sure.
He should use mini sets as quick fillers in between larger, more complex sets. Or for less popular characters like Skyla..
But then I think of Megan 4 with Ghast. He may not be popular and I very much dislike him but that mini set was great! I'd have loved to see that aa a full set. Miriam 13 tho. Damn good set.
