Sadly though, I think Lego's days as an innovative toy company are over. All of my Clone Wars vehicles have warped pieces and explode if you touch them. I think it's nothing but cheap licensed crap and recycled 1980s lines from now on.

While I agree that Lego has passed on structually sound sets for things that cost less, I feel that there is a lot of innovation coming from the company still. Like sparkhunter said, the Atlantis line is very cool and looks like a lot of fun, and Transformers still recycles the same old concepts over and over and remains great by and large. "Recycled" lines like Castle and Pirates are the best things that Lego has going for them.
