You are doing Lego wrong!
When I was a kid (and that was during the horrible late nineties and early 2000s, when Lego was all about cramming as many special pieces into their sets as possible – a trend that has reversed by now) I of course needed generic bricks, but even the horrible sets of that time provided them in large enough numbers. What I also loved was repurposing special parts in novel ways. That was always possible, with every part.
My multifunctional super-car obviously needed all the special computer bricks I could get my hands on!
The only thing I never liked where bricks with stickers. Luckily those were and still are rare.
