Whew! This is a tough one. As you start to zero-in on a particular brick or set, you quickly realize how this becomes a slipperly slope.
I'm okay with the mini-figures and town/castle sets -probably 'cause that's what I grew up with. But the aqua-zone sets had overly detailed paintjobs on many of the pieces that diminished the imaginative part and often limited those pieces to under-water adventures.
But then I think about the town and castle paint jobs. They had pieces with Exxon stickers, police station logos, stone walls, etc... Did THOSE pieces limit my imagination and I just didn't know it?
What about that little spaceship zooming around the moon logo on the space sets?
Maybe all legos should be restriced to a single color and one of 8 shapes: You could have a line, a square, a "T", an "L".... DOH! That's another poll/thread!

Wooden boxes!?!? Cool! Was the lego train set steam powered at the time? Sorry couldn't resist!
:-)
Don't worry. I bet there's still wood fibers in the cardboard boxes they use today!
