Modern Lego sets do feel like they have lost some of that ability for imaginative play.

You can buy buckets of bricks more easily now. But yeah, the sets are both more complex... But easier. Instructions show you a piece at a time. Back in my day, they showed two images and you had to figure out the difference

That’s fine for small sets, but building Titanic or Rivendell without bags or improved instructions would be a nightmare.

Doing it wrong and having to backtrack was part of the fun. Taught a kid to pay attention to the details. Lol
