Lego is a mirror for society.
Alex@rtnVFRmedia Suffolk UK@adam indeed, the whole Lego city is like that, the original ones were based around an idealised version of 1970s Northern Europe, with a lot of trains/metro and public transport. Modern sets have not only militarised/American style police officers; but a lot more emphasis on private motor cars and USA techbro futurist type landscapes..
@vfrmedia Good point. I grew up on the original sets and my kids have been playing with my old box of misc blocks. I haven't walked through the Lego aisle much in the past decade so I hadn't realized just how American the city sets had become.
