    Call me boring, but I want to see more classic Lego sets that are not affiliated with any existing bit of pop culture other than itself. Give us a cool car or city set like we played with as kids, or what we would inevitably make if given a giant bin of bricks!

      My mom isn’t big on Legos but she does garden - there are some very cool botanical sets that they didn’t have when I was a kid! Fun for the family Lego people and also fun for grandma… am really enjoying those.

      Agreed. Kids shouldn’t need a branded tie in to enjoy Lego. Just give them the building blocks (hey!) and let them build.

        Fr.

        That’s why I sometimes grab generic Lego City or whatever any generic Lego set.

        To be fair, Lego was apparently on the verge of going under until they did a bunch of brand tie-ins. So I totally understand its need for survival, but maybe they could change the proportions a little

      Yes, a cool car like a cybertruck and a city set with a food desert and some data centre extension to make it realistic. ;)

        Or, I don’t know, just a somewhat utopic example of what a city could be? (I know it’s sarcasm, but we don’t have to bring this shit into every Lemmy post.)
