Comment slashdotters: buy more legos! (Score 1) 717
i've often thought in recent years that LEGO had really gone downhill with all the specialized sets. sure, some of them were kinda cool (the Millenium Falcon comes to mind), but overall it just seemed like there wasn't any way to get away from what the designers intended, and run wild with my imagination.
the older sets were great, because as soon as you got bored with the configuration the instructions provided (ok, i'm a boring guy.. i always did the instructions first), you could tear it apart and build whatever you wanted, and if you brought in your piles and piles of other pieces from other sets, the possibilities were limitless.
it's sad that Mindstorms is having to go, though. very cool idea. hopefully they'll bring it back after they get back on their feet.
i've been a lego fan for a long time, but i haven't really bought any sets in too long... i think i'm going to start buying more. maybe if all us slashdotters buy a few sets, we'll give LEGO the financial boost it needs. :)
