>>7469551I don't think licensed themes are inherently noncreative either, I'm exactly like your friend. From my perspective though, it just feels lame when you've practically got nothing but licensed themes and boring ol' City (and Ninjago which is where all the cool fantasy/scifi set ideas go to die). At that point, it feels less like LEGO is encouraging creative thinking, and more like they just want you to buy these other guys' merchandise. It's a cynical way of looking at it yeah, but a couple original themes similar to the likes of Space, Aqua Raiders, Atlantis, or Power Miners is ALL I ask for.
