Yeah... I remember seeing some Lego again a couple of years ago and it 
was kinda depressing - it seemed to be nearly all custom pieces specific 
to the model bought. Back when I was a kid all the bits were generic - 
so there was a lot more scope for ignoring what Lego wanted you to build 
and doing your own thing!

I must admit that some of the robotic stuff looks pretty cool - but it 
still doesn't compare to the old days of bodging on motors and stuff 
scavenged from various devices :)
