During a recent cleanout of my lego magazines I found some early 90's ones.

What happened to the town models between 1990 and 1995?
They seemed to be more detailed than the 1999/2000 models.
There was also more peices too.

This degradation of current Lego sets is called "juniorization".  Lego wants
to target kids of younger ages and makes the sets with less pieces and less

themes that don't seem to be affected by this are Star Wars, Technic and Model
