I wish Lego would just stick to Lego classic.
I don't like having to check all the pieces in a themed set are present when putting them back in the box after my child's finished with it. It's difficult to reuse the pieces for other ideas because I can't just commingle them with other sets because finding the pieces again to build that themed set would be more difficult.
Just following instructions has limited value anyway.
- zizee 3y agoI sympathize, but is this not just something you as a parent/consumer can control? i.e. why don't YOU stick to lego classic, and let lego do what they want. I guess received gifts would be a problem, but it seems presumptuous that your way of doing lego is the right way.
- denkmoon 3y agoI always had to clean up my own lego and if I got parts mixed and wanted to rebuild from the instructions later, you better believe I had to dig around for hours (probably less than 10 minutes, but I was a kid ;)) to find it.
- knallfrosch 3y agoLego is not the right brick manufacturer for your needs anymore. Lego occupies the high-end market nowadays, where you pay $1,000-$2,000 for a franchise set (Harry Potter, Star Wars) that you can display in a glass showcase. You'll get robotics and some smart app functionality, along with a devoted following. If you just want plastic toy bricks to let your kids' imagination run wild, there are alternatives.

- specialist 3y agoThe way I heard it, the copyright on classic pieces ran out, so Lego had to differentiate. Further, the co-marketing arrangements like Star Wars and Harry Potter have been lucrative, and probably saved the company.
