Lego didn't go downhill for me til about 2005-6. I loved all those specific sets. I had a fleet of Star Wars stuff. I set up battles all the time.
I don't like the modeled parts....That's one thing I wish they'd stop doing.

That is my point though 20 years ago they did not have those set specific modeled parts.
It is just like everything else these days mass marketed which means it must please the short attention span uncreative person.This is what is wrong with most everything entertainment wise from movies to toys to video games.When you mass market to "please" all you make it more dull you make it have less substance.
Man of Steel for example Steve pointed out that it had too much action and that is problem right there Super Man is interesting because you get to see his personal struggles its not the action that matters so much its is the inner struggle his pain, his hopes, his dreams and how he deals with them while at the same time using his power to help people that makes him interesting not that he can pick up a locomotive.In most every modern movie now too much focus is on overloading the screen with action and you miss out on or have too little time to absorb the inner struggle stuff which is what really makes any character interesting.
"Das Boot" is good example how to do it right the story is interesting because you get to know the crew and like them there really is not that much action in "Das Boot" and it helps develop the characters you get a lump in your thought at the end and you do not have to have any interest in U-boats or submarines.
