>>11212763Yeah it sucks, it's because of branding deals successively killing core themes, pirates got killed by PotC, Castle got killed by LotR.
The only good sets left are usually in the 3in1 series. Even then basically everything is missing the small-medium sized sets that once made up the core of each theme. These days making your own figures and getting parts with PAB or bricklink is the best way to go often, but that's not what you want for a kid's toy.
What's worse is that despite the fact that lego actually is starting to get some decent competition now, they also focus on the autistic AFOL market with oversized expensive sets. Also, their figures look like shit near universally.
LEGO has fallen, it's over...
