Welcome Brad. With LUGnet's policy of verifying e-mail addresses, and the
fact that you have a lego.com address, I'm going to assume that this
isn't some incredibly cruel hoax.

*drool* Train windows, please. Lots and lots of train windows. And
doors. And other bricks. And... *ahem*

Love: LEGO, the basic brick. The Star Wars sets. The older Train sets.
Trains in general.

Hate: pink bricks. Juniorization. The lack of train sets. The lack of
support from LEGO for LEGO train enthusiasts.

Bestow some sort of official status on the train clubs that meet some
minimum criteria.
Put out sets of buildings so kids can build a proper town instead of a
roadside attraction. Libraries, schools, offices, BUILDINGS.
Put out more train sets!
Make it possible to buy bricks and sets on-line direct from LEGO.
Make the lego website usable instead of a mass of overly clever web design
that works out to be low quality because too much effort is being put into
making it "kewl".
