Call me old fashioned but Lego has too many set specific parts. I prefer the older set for actual play
yeah there used to be a difference between Lego and just a 3d puzzle
Yeah. I can just buy a model kit if I want something that specific. And that's way cheaper than Lego these days too.
I'm confused - to which parts in the new set are you referring? Looking at the parts list from the instructions booklet, the only "set specific parts" I'm seeing are those with printing. And I thought we all agreed that more printing is better than more stickers.

It looks like there are still plenty of stickers though
Very true, but you wouldn't get the realistic level of ad placement in these cars without stickers. Or a truly outrageous price point 😛
I guess it depends on the set. I got a similar F1 set recently, and while the reusability is indeed low, the specific parts give quite a nicer looking model.
For sets that you want to reuse for creativity, definitely agree.
In days gone collectors would have got diecast models instead. Which I know are still a thing, but Lego has largely supplanted
