> yes it's annoying that a lot of them are built just once

how is this a point people are hung up on. nobody is telling anyone they can only build a set once. hell, Lego has even started offering "alternative instructions" for certain sets to encourage you to take it apart and rebuild it.

You can do whatever you want with LEGO after you buy it and it has never been a better time to be an enthusiast.

People just like complaining about now vs. the Good Old Days (tm)

I can speak to this a little, the issue is that the sets are designed to not be as friendly to rebuilding. The walls and floors to buildings are made out of very specific pieces that aren't easily reconfigured into new structures.

Honestly some of it is so weird that I think they do it on purpose specifically to discourage re-use.

I don't think this is true at all. I recently built the Saturn V and the Mario Question Mark Block and neither had _any_ notably unique pieces in them and certainly not in any excess quantity.
