So back in the day, I played with Lego sets that were Lego bricks. You know, those 2x2, 2x4 kind of things. I still have that old box somewhere. About a year ago, I bought a small Lego car with the Creator name on it. It was small, so I expected an easy, simple build. Instead, I found to my considerable shock that there was not a single actual brick in the set. The build was tricky and actually composed entirely of plates. But as I have continued purchasing System, I have found this trend to largely continue. I was glad to see the one brick in Rascal's Glider and the white "foot" parts in Cloud Cuckoo land...but so far in my Lego buying explorations I have met very few actual bricks. Maybe it's because I've been producing smallerish sets, but that still doesn't make too much sense - bricks should be easier/cheaper to produce than parts that need new molds, right? And while it could be argued that bricks are too blocky and clunky, I've seen plates subbed in where bricks could do just as well. So what do you think? As System becomes more "themed" and more niche like Bionicle was, what do you think will happen to more standard hallmarks? Is the standard brick's demise on order? What do you think? towers. more towers.
