One thing that has changed is the quality of some of the bricks. I used to play with Legos in the 80's. I had dozens and dozens of sets that my parents kept, and now my kids are playing with them. Very very few pieces are broken. Compare that with the current sets. My kids have a few of these and parts seem to break very easily. Especially minifigures. Hands, arms and "hips" deteriorate quickly. They crack slightly, become loose, etc.
