Btw when you say about TLG always having good story lines, not a fact.

Back in the 70's, 80's, and 90's minus some minor plot in castle sets and Adventurers and of course a little plot aka a few paragraphs for a few theme in the 90's there was really no stories and just sets. Also I liked that back in the 80's the classic space sets were all extremely compatible with each other and the minifigs were generic. I think equaled the best play experience because the sets could all be combined to make epic space ships plus you didn't need all the sets to git all the different minifigs because there was only a few colors.

Since as a TFoL I really don't care about 'play experience', the more special and unique minifigs for customizing the better.

And also when I was a kid and saw LEGO(having started out with my brothers' LEGO sets mostly from the 90's) I always made my own stories and my imagination(maybe that's because I'm weird that my imagination don't need help, IDK. :P) but when I saw the Bionicle, Knights' Kingdom II, and other themes all I saw was what my imagination could do with it(At that time I had a dislike for fantasy things that were just weird like Bionicle, KK II, and later Exo-Force) and to me KK II, Bionicle, ect. weren't appealing and just plain weird. Also I never saw Bionicle as 'real LEGO'. Thus I went through 2004-2008 without hardly liking a thing in the LEGO magazines(I didn't find a lot of enjoyment playing with mundane City/Town since that was/is a good theme). So I just kept loving the good old Ice Planet, Space Police II, Pirates, Imperial Guards, Wild West, ect..

Possibly the fact that I was exposed to the real 'originals' when I was younger explains why my perspective of the "original and classic" LEGO themes is so vastly different than many my age and younger/a tad older have and express.

Sorry for all these deep and long comments, it's just that this is one of my favorite subjects to discuss... :P
