This decision was also spurred by the arrival in my mailbox today of the
Summer 2004 catalog. Each turn of the page further confirmed to me that
Lego has ceased to be what I loved. Too many of the set pictures don’t show
you what the whole set looks like and the pictures are blurred with action
graphics that distort what should be in focus. Also, the overall set design
has continued to worsen.

Oh yeah *that thing*. I recall getting a copy of that in the mail the other day,
but after two minutes of flipping through it, I put it into my not-so-coveted
‘shred pile’.
I admit there are a few interesting bits in there, (including a few of the HP
sets - good for those scarce latticed window components) but most of the new
stuff looks rather dull and mundane. For the knight figures/ sets, they’re
another castle travesty. Now, what about those set designers? They must be
taking really long coffee breaks...or the process is being overseen by evil
monkeys who conspire to take over the company...or ABS fumes are corrupting the
designers. The conspiracy theories go on and on...
Will the campaign of lameness end? Will future catalogues see the same fate as
this one? Tune in and see the next installment of this...epic saga : )
