Call me boring, but I want to see more classic Lego sets that are not affiliated with any existing bit of pop culture other than itself. Give us a cool car or city set like we played with as kids, or what we would inevitably make if given a giant bin of bricks!
My mom isn’t big on Legos but she does garden - there are some very cool botanical sets that they didn’t have when I was a kid! Fun for the family Lego people and also fun for grandma… am really enjoying those.
To be fair, Lego was apparently on the verge of going under until they did a bunch of brand tie-ins. So I totally understand its need for survival, but maybe they could change the proportions a little
Or, I don’t know, just a somewhat utopic example of what a city could be? (I know it’s sarcasm, but we don’t have to bring this shit into every Lemmy post.)

I miss the old space, kingdom, pirate, underwater, and to a lesser extent, the old cowboy sets too.
Bring back Bionicle!
Agreed. Kids shouldn’t need a branded tie in to enjoy Lego. Just give them the building blocks (hey!) and let them build.

That’s why I sometimes grab generic Lego City or whatever any generic Lego set.

This! The Oldschool pirate sets are still so awesome to me.
Those were actually way more fun
Rock Raiders!
Yes, a cool car like a cybertruck and a city set with a food desert and some data centre extension to make it realistic. ;)
