Patrick, They still offer plenty of options for buckets of misc bricks: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/lego-medium-creative-brick-box-10696
I think it's a good balance. The theme sets are great for learning to follow instructions and developing different spatial thinking skills, and def get kids excited to build something from their favorite show or movie. The freestyle sets are great for creativity and exploration. But yeah, millennials really go hard on nostalgia and will spend big bucks on kits that combine their favorite childhood pastime with their favorite childhood media.
