While I was browsing the catalogs, I had this idea... I'd like to know what
the consensus is as to which year saw Lego as truly the TOP of its game.

2003.  By far and away.

You have Mindstorms, LEGENDS, bulk bricks, MOC series, licenses, new colors...
the list goes on.  The past pales in comparison IMO.  I really believe that the
present is the golden age of LEGO.

I didn't see any new Mindstorms product announced for 2003.
I don't see Lego still producing Classic Space sets.
I don't see Lego currently producing any Technic sets with classic studded
beams. (apart from 8431 crane truck, of course)
I don't see Lego currently producing multi functional innovating sets like
8868 airtech claw rig or 8480 shuttle.
I don't see Lego currently producing as many classic houses and building
made of standard bricks as they used to in the 80's.
I don't see a way to order specific parts directly form Lego anymore. (Like
the old "service" leaflets)

Bulk Bricks? Lego always produced those.
Licenses? I don't see how it improves Lego.
Legends? They're just a select few sets from the past. If the current sets
rocked, they wouldn't need those.
