The fact my Lego, from when I was a kid, still fit and work with my kids new Lego sets, is a testament to the engineering.
Their consistent manufacturing tolerances over decades is what sets LEGO apart from basically everyone. You can use bricks from the 80s that still click in place with bricks from 2023. It's insane. Their moulding process and moulds are some of their highest guarded secrets for that reason. Not just that, but their customer service is NEXT LEVEL. If you ever have a missing piece in your set (which is also incredibly unlikely) they will ship a new piece out to you for free straight away.

As a kid stepping on Legos was a pain like no other. Now that I'm an adult taking care of my niece and nephews, stepping on legos got more painful when stepped on. Idk how but they improved the pain. I didn't know you CAN improve pain.
If you want an example of timelessness of Lego sets... We just got our old 12V train set working again, the 1979 train now runs from a 1990s Lego train station to the 2017 Lego Frozen castle, passing by the 2020 Lego Friends waterslide park. Not going to lie, I was emotional when it all clicked together (sorry).
Love the Mad Men vibe. Also, I see that Lego quickly gave up on 'rule' no. 2: Affordability. At least in the UK, Lego has always been a premium, expensive product, from my childhood to now.
