When I was first looking into buying Lego sets for my kids I felt the same way, but I've completely turned around. Legos are way better than they were when I was a kid. Check out the 3-in-1 line. They're brilliantly designed. A few of my favorites: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/deep-sea-creatures-31088 https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/deep-sea-creatures-31088 https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/mighty-dinosaurs-31058 https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/mighty-dinosaurs-31058 https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/underwater-robot-31090 https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/underwater-robot-31090 https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/riverside-houseboat-31093 https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/riverside-houseboat-31093 https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/outback-cabin-31098 https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/outback-cabin-31098 I also used to be bummed that Lego retired their standalone fantastical space ships line, in favor of making everything about starwars, but instead they've now based their space line on actually realistic spaceships, and it feels like a much better fit. When my son builds Lego rockets now, it makes him want to learn about all the NASA missions they're based on. He ends up learning about the parts of real rockets that are reflected in the Lego models. https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/deep-space-rocket-and-launch-control-60228 https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/deep-space-rocket-and-lau...
