   It’s almost as if they are no longer trying to sell Lego sets that you are supposed to take apart and build other things with. It seems like they’re now trying to sell static playsets that just happen to require assembly and come apart easy.

Lego should be about making pieces that can be used in a vast number of ways to build anything you can imagine. The poorly designed and one-use parts they make lately are hurting set designs, costs, and replay value.
