I think Lego is just as interested in fun (and quality) as before. I think
they are trying a few different things in a struggle to survive in a
changing world.

Unfortunately we can't buy stock in Lego. Its what's known as a "Private"
company, whose stock is not publicly traded - its basically owned by the
family of the guy who founded it, and no sign of them selling soon.

I miss the "classic" stuff too. But, if you like the classics, hunt around
at garage sales, thrift stores, eBay and so on. Lego's stuff is all but
indestructible - so there is all the classic Lego out there that you need.
Plus, there are the re-releases, Star Wars and Lego Direct Trains which in
my opinion are as good as anything from the 80s or early 90s.
