I guess I don't find custom-moulded parts useful or in upkeep with the LEGO
brand name. I can't recomend to any co-workers or adult friends with
children to "Go buy Technic, it will make your kid smart". Now I have to say
"Don't buy LEGO, it's gone to crap. Unless you can afford a $300 MindStorms
kit..." and most of them are unwilling to pay that much.
My favourite sets?
Technic Universal (1990-1995).
Nothing pleased me more than going in to Toys R Us and seeing box after box
with the beautiful, Arial font saying "Universal" on the front. Espically
when they had the lift-up flap. If it had the flap, you KNEW you were geting
an exciting set. Filled with familiar, comforting parts.
Not organic, horrid looking alien things.
