Which is not surprising because the generation of children started to get dumber after 2000.
I'm pretty sure the generation before ours will say the same thing about us xD
I personally think 90's lego is the best, but that's because I grew up with it. The sets from the 80's where pretty nice as well (Forestmen, Crusaders, Castle, Classic Space etc. I still have some of those sets, and I must say they're pretty awesome!)
