TLG is stupid when it comes to kids, it's true. Kids don't know what they want either. They would be happy to be force-fed shit.
When was a kid (please note I have never gotten smarter in my life, because I think the same things I did when I was a kid.) I never had a 'big' set. Insted I had small ones spread across many themes. Also because in the day, TLC didn't feel the need for war-in-a-box, I had pretty much only 'goodies'. As I remember, I had made up this storyline (I don't remember it, but my Mum and some hand make 'books' tell me) Where Aliens had crashed on earth and were trying to get home. I'll probily write the whole thing one they on here, but it had no Violence. At all. Ok maybe a lil bit. Also when I used to play Bionicles with my friends we didn't have conflict. We had races. megablocking races.
I actual hope that TLC starts doing changes from sets release in the US and World, that would be great.
And to finish I've made a funny quote "I find it digusting that 'Legos' have made terrosist sets... That legos of miners killing defenseless creatures who just want to eat, to save there world and with big violent machines looks good for my son.
