back in the day...lego was meant to be taken apart and put together however you wanted...now it goes a certain way...
i think it is uber cool though with lord of the rings...although i wonder if the demographics are a bit off for younger lego users?

I always liked the "Set" concept. A kid could build something interesting and then use their imagination to create a story around that item. Alternatively, the pieces were still generic enough that they could build whatever the heck they wanted.
I think that the 'Branding' of sets (Harry Potter, Star Wars, LoTR) has gone too far though. Dunno, just feels wrong for some reason. Creating a Harry Potter sub-set isn't the same as creating generic Space Lego (or Castles, or Town).
As for losing the book....welcome to the internet age. It's amazing!
