Nostalgia for the days when Lego made its own worlds
Original: Anyone else remember when # Lego didn't have massive IPs to draw on, and came up with their own random stuff? Been diggi
A parent digging out old Lego sets for their children is reminiscing about when the Danish toy maker relied on its own invented themes rather than licensed franchises like Star Wars or Marvel. The post laments that today's sets are built around massive external intellectual properties, while 1990s kids had to invent the stories and worlds themselves, sparking nostalgic agreement among other parents.
Why now: Parents sharing 90s nostalgia while passing old toys down to their children are questioning Lego's shift to licensed franchises.
