I dunno...call me old-fashioned, but I'm a hardcore, old Leggoer---and I don't care much for these "new-fangled" Lego kits with all their special-made individual pieces and curved, molded specialty-details, etc. Back when we were young, we'd walk a mile down to the General Store, in the snow, barefoot, and wait for three days, eating nuthin' but berries and rocks, til the toy truck came bumpin' down the road and tossed a dog-eared box of just PLAIN, OL' Legos out the back. No special curves, NO "detail" pieces, NO curved, injection-molded windshield, wheels, or nacelles! Our wheels were SQUARE, and we LIKED 'em that way!
We'd trudge back home, open it up,and spill out the rectangles, squares, and flat wafers of dimpled Legos and build masterpieces from them, all out of just plain, ol' angular Legos! These new kits just require less and less imagination, and you really can't cross-build with them like we did back then. And if ya lose a part....the whole model's compromised.
Progress?...or....not?
