Am I blinded by rose-tinted nostalgia goggles when I think these Legos are way better than what's available today?

I feel like all the lego stuff now is licensed shit instead of original or traditional settings

My first Lego set was 6973, Deep Freeze Defender. Still one of the coolest sets ever, but theres a lot of sick modern ones too.

There's no reason they can't ship any "legacy" set to order. I don't care about the box/packaging for store shelves, just send the pieces and instructions.

I hardly ever bought sets, wasn't the whole point of Lego to build your own stuff?

I feel like they have played way safer with franchised sets that I think limit them from producing some of the more creative sets. That said, I am damn tempted to get this NES one when I just started looking through...

Nice, I had the Native American canyon village one. Loved it.

Big Lots used to carry discontinued toys, and sometimes I'd find sets there at base price years after they'd retired.

I had a lot of these sets growing up!

Memories dude.. the prices on new Lego sets just make me sad when I look at some of them. Definitely a LOT cheaper back in the day.
