The Evolution of Lego

I was a really big Lego fan as a young boy. I used to love making like spaceships and shoot space battle cruises. And for me, that's what Lego was all about. But it seems to me that over the years Lego has just evolved more and more towards these super specialized builds with super specialized pieces. It would never even occur to me really to make the thing that Lego were telling me to make because like where's the fun in that? That's not creative. That's just like doing what you're told.
