at least Lego is a reasonably healthy toy, right?

I'm a little disturbed how far in they've gone on the licensed content. But I'm a child of the 90s that grew up with the classic System themes; I guess kids aren't into non-Star Wars space, castle, pirate and Wild West Legos anymore.
Lego city is still popular, and playmobil do a large selection of various castles.
The kits with multicolored bricks and no instructions are healthy. Everything else LEGO puts out are just action figures.

Source: grew up with both Bionicles and the multicolored bricks. Bionicles sat put together on a shelf while I reconfigured the bricks every day.
