I recall a somewhat controversial (as always!) survey that you announced in the
past few months. The main focus of it was Legends. We were asked to rate
possible future Legends releases. There were also questions about potential
future themes. I also recall one lego.com survey asking AFOLs about our
spending habits.
Having gone through a number of surveys, I sure would be interested in seeing
some of the results. Obviously, releasing some of the results might give your
competitors or potential competitors some advantage, but some tidbits would be
nice to receive. Anything in the works to release anything to us? I assume
participation rates by AFOL's are high in these surveys, despite our griping
about their design?
Thanks,
Markus
