I stopped when you were beginning to ask questions about panic and such
things. I really don't understand what those questions have to do with idea
generation co-creation. It almost looks like a way to collect email adresses
for some sedative commercials...

Sorry, I can understand why you have problems getting answers...

Hi everyone!


My name is Jairo Timmermans and I am a Business Administration
student from the Netherlands.

i am new to this forum and I would like to ask the staff permission
to use this forum as I am currently working on my master thesis,
which focuses on you guys!

I would like to know what it is that drives or could drive community
members to engage idea generation co-creation: why do you engage in
solving problems and generating ideas et cetera. In doing so, I could
really use your help!

It is really hard to get participants, therefore I will raffle 3x 50?
Lego gift card among the participants !

Please go to the following site to fill out my survey:
https://qtrial2015az1.az1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_eWNPn1azETaCvw9

Doing so will take no more than 10 minutes of your time, is
completely anonymous and would help me graduate!

I am happy to share the results with anyone interested, it could help
to improve the platform facilities!

Many thanks!

Getting the last updates to my Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guide (free
to owners of the current DVD or desktop download.) :)

About $20,000 worth of very very rare Norwegian 1957 LEGO items.... many of
these (boxes not shown in these 2 images).... are items where there are less
than 10 known!

https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7754/17469757192_314567638e_b.jpg

Just the vehicles alone are worth about $10,000... and the one Esso Garage (not
the station)... is a 1309 set of 1956-57... about a $5,000 set.... it's the only
one known.... none in the Billund Vault!

Even the Norwegian red road signs are worth $100 each.... so much to discuss
about these rarities... so little time.... will be in my collectors guide
update!

Also included in the several chapters of my LEGO Collectors Guide are going to
be several videos.

The nice thing about having a Computer Desktop collectors guide (as opposed to
just a hardcover book) is that you can click on sites on the internet (videos
and reference sites), and then go back to the desktop document where you left
off.  This will be true for several videos of some of the largest collections of
LEGO display sculptures on the planet.... including museums (Dan Brown's in
Ohio), as well as online links to the works of famous LEGO sculptors (and LEGO
friends) such as Eric Harshbarger, Nathan Sawaya and Adam Reed Tucker.

The 5 chapters on display models will make this the ultimate guide for official
(and non-official) LEGO sculptures and displays!  ;-)

(P.S. If you currently own my collectors guide.. this expansion of the guide
from 2800 to 3700 pages will be free

One last teaser... from the 1985 Paris LEGO Architect Exhibit...

Several LEGO fans have recently offered the use of the images of about 150
display models covering the last half century of LEGO retailer displays, for my
Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guide next edition (free to current owners
of my DVD or Desktop Reference Guide).

So now my chapter on Glued LEGO display models will likely be split into large
chapters on models by decades!!  :)

Chapter 78 - 1955-70 Early Display Models.
Chapter 79 - 1970s Display Models.
Chapter 80 - 1980s Display Models.
Chapter 81 - 1990s Display Models.
Chapter 82 - 2000- Present Display Models.

This is in addition to a chapter on LEGO Retailer Stores & Displays, and a
chapter on LEGO Retailer Catalogs, Binders and Brochures.

I'm very excited over this... some of these new LEGO guide chapters will be
subdivided into sub-chapters on Town, Castle, Space, Homemaker, Large Figures,
etc.

These chapters will show the evolution from the early years, when retailers were
required to purchase Display Models from TLG in Billund Denmark, to starting in
the 1970s when TLG made them available to retailers, but kept ownership of the
models, expecting them to be returned to TLG.  From what I gathered TLG didn't
want broken or dirty display models left in circulation, because they wanted to
protect the image and reputation of the LEGO product.

Fortunately for us today... many of these LEGO display models didn't make it
back to TLG, which once returned... they were destroyed.  So we are fortunate
that there are survivors among this part of LEGO history.  This same destruction
took place among weathered and replaced Miniland models from the LEGOLAND
partks.  Somewhere I have a heartbreaking image of a huge mound of disposed
LEGOLAND models that were on their way to being crushed and recycled.

Even in the early years, when retailers could own their own copies of models,
TLG suggested that they dispose of them after they became outdated and no longer
in good condition.

The over 150 image assortment I now have to document is amazing... an entire
book on just these alone could be put together.... ;-)
