I can see your point - its interesting how it appears to me that many AFOL’s
perception of Lego “back in the good ol’ days” seems to change depending on what
the Lego was like in their respective childhoods. For instance, I have always
thought of the 80s and 90s as the Golden Age of Lego and also agree with you
that their willingness to just make a new piece instead of trying to get the
already produced pieces to work is disappointing.
With microscale, its interesting that a builder sort of has to work with a
majority of what could be considered the plainer bricks of the old days since
the scale is very unforgiving (well, at least to me it seems that way!). I
think that capturing the look of a full size Lego set in micro is really tough
to begin with and the 70s sets earlier in this thread are awesome examples of
what a gifted AFOL can do with that limitation of parts!
