I have pointed out in other coments that the themes, such as chima and ninjago etc., HAVE a storyline, yes, it's just that I think it is very superficial. The 2000-2010 ish themes like Bionicle and exo force where more in depth. I cried when Mata-Nui gave his life to save the dying planent and kill Makuta. (Little inside thing for BIONICLE fans.) Exo force was good too, pity they just cut it off like that. Also, regarding your comment:"If you don't know the storyline, then you'll make one up" I have said that sometimes even the best creators run out of ideas and so those sets lose the fun they had. Another thing that strengthens my argument about older sets being more creative is the fact that they had a LOT less bricks. Nowadays, they have more bricks avalibe to make things they want, but a while back they had to get along with rather generic blocks. You could look at a block and see a house, starfighter or mech, now you look at a block and you can already see the sort of things it was made for. Also, please remember that these are opinions, and I am not trying to change your point of view, I just want to hear other voices on the subject so we can build of each other. And to your closing coment, I agree. This is my perception of Lego, and it could be wrong, but I still do belive that things have gotten worse. Who knows, maybe I'm just nostalgic of what was.
