I 'came back' to Lego just recently after a 15 year absence (the return largely
triggered by MindStorms) - and the one thing that struck me was how specialised Lego
has now become.
I know that when I was 'playing' (the only verb that I ever used) with it as a kid, I
used to just wish for one piece that combined a hinge with a wheel and had a
television screen on it (or something similar) but now I think that Lego is actually
better as fundamental blocks with little specialisation that can be combined and
recombined into almost anything.
Have I become a Lego purist?
Has anyone else lamented the increasing number of model-specific pieces?
