I forget what part
Chris Leach: MOT and ATSF did well in LD... will we see retail availability
of trains again?
A: MOT WILL be seen in retailers again... TRU maybe. But track, (which we
realise people wnat to buy) is hard to get retailers to carry... we struggle
with that problem
Rich Shamus: More on the set for target and TRU? Will it go to brand retain
A: different packaging
Missed a question... will there be a new 1000 piece set?
A: No idea about them
Bob Hayes: if an LTC does a good show,do you get feedback? We point them at
the catalog, about the lego.com site
a: depending on size we send catalogs, we send out postcards.
Chris L: Can we ask how we did?
A: no, we don't release that sort of specific feedback.
Sid Dinsay: Can you do transparent pieces in bulk:
A: maybe... we never rule out anything. Except Pitchforks! (big laugh from
crowd)
White plates?
A: maybe... 30 or 40 new bulk packs are coming out in 4Q... yes some old
ones will go away due to production volumes
Tim Courtney: Will you expand to small hobby stores
A: not my place, retail distribution is a sales company function not LD. We
have made changes to allow phone in order and assistance... they can now pay
by CC the same way that consumers do, piggy backed off the S@H... there has
been attention paid to this issue
Calum: Is MS being replaced by Spybotics?
A: no. MS is not going away
TJ Avery: is the technic beam dead?
A: no. It is NOT dead.
John Rudy: how do you measure retail success, take rate or sales rate?
A: both... we want retailers to reorder of course so they need to be able to
sell, if we channel stuff that's not good enough... retailers need to sell
to consumers
J Mizner: Can you tell us what theme the next MOC will be from?
A: Yes, I could, but not right now.
Cary Clark: the park model shops have a tremendous selection of bulk parts
which someitmes dribble out in the park stores... any chance of a club/bulk
oriented availability? Not necessarily massively public?
A: not really because we don't know what the model shop inventory is nor do
we want to sell it off out from under them because they then could not make
their models!!!
Magnus: lots of new parts/colors in sets.. but in many sets have only one or
two of a part or color... will we see more?
A: if you've seen a color you probably will see more
Ondrew: will we see classic technic sets instead of funky panels?
A: Technic is not dead
?: Maersk promo sets? Any hope for those?
A: License issues always cause problems.... in other colors also are hard
because of the limit on how many different things we can do
Kevin L: Any chance of 1x4x6 3 pane windows being added in bulk
A: No comment on specific bulk assortment plans.
Kevin S: Any info on LEGO retail expanding into new markets or brand
extension into apparel
A: No comment, have not released specifics.
