Yeah... I remember seeing some Lego again a couple of
years ago and it
was kinda depressing - it seemed to be nearly all custom pieces specific
to the model bought. Back when I was a kid all the bits were generic -
so there was a lot more scope for ignoring what Lego wanted you to build
and doing your own thing!
I must admit that some of the robotic stuff looks pretty cool - but it
still doesn't compare to the old days of bodging on motors and stuff
scavenged from various devices :)
You can still get the generic kits, they're just not very popular with
the littlest ones, so they tend not to sell them in smaller toy stores.
I buy most of my Legos on ebay nowadays.
Peace... Sridhar
