Sets with common, generic pieces are still available. But also, don’t be to quick to decry pieces as special purpose, Lego is good at clever reuse.

- bathtub365 7y agoMaking too many special-purpose parts around the late 90’s/early 2000’s is part of what almost drove them to bankruptcy. Making new LEGO moulds is incredibly expensive (plus the added logistics of producing and storing new pieces) and if they can’t reuse a piece it’s a sign of a bad design from a financial perspective.

- mcphage 7y agoYeah, exactly.
