Thank you everyone for helping out with the survey.  This is available until
August 1st at which point it will be formatted and sent to LEGO.  The survey is
available on other forums most of which are populated with a younger crowd.
Please add some more seasoned responses to make a nice balance.

Thank you in advance for your time and help.

I know this is posted to many many groups, but I really need people from all
interests to help take this survey.  There are so many members here at Lugnet
yet I feared too few ever check the home page or .general.  So, I plea with all
of you to allow my broad post and to help take this survey (and check out my new
battle scene).  I also would ask that you help spread the word.  I normally
would never post to ask for a spotlight but if anyone feels the cause is worthy
I encourage you to help others see this who may only check the spotlight column.
Please see the previous posts and feel free to take the survey here, or at
Eurobricks, or FBTB, or CC, or anywhere else yopu frequent most.  Remember to
take it only once though.  Thank you all for the help.

For those who think I have forgotten I have not!  I have been busy and
[URL=http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=137709]here[/URL] is the
result.  Feel free to check out the rest of the battle.  Behold the might of the
Royal army as they defend against two armies at the same time.

This is the final leg of the race I am passing off the baton to you who have not
taken this.  August 1st is coming on quickly and there is no time to delay.  If
have replied to the survey now is the time.  If you know someone interested in
LEGO toys who has not taken the survey, encourage them to do so now.  If have
helped by posting links on different forums and taken part in the discussions
bump them and keep them up until the 1st.  Post any encouragement you can.
Spread the word, get peoples attention (in a good way).  There is no time to
waste.

I will do what I still can but I will need your help.

If you have already answered please feel free to modify, simplify, condense or
expand your answers.  Just remember, no trash talk, no vulgarity, no put downs,
and no completely unrealistic answers should be listed.  LEGO will not be able
to use such things.  Be positive, yet honest and wishful, yet realistic.

To the LEGO revival!

  This is my final plea and I will be silent about this (I will post the results
though) from now on.

  Lugnet isn't filled with little children.  There are thousands, I think, of
members here who have jobs, families, children, spouses and other things that
take up their time.  Yet, one thing brings us together, LEGO toys.

  I can't count the threads in dozens of forums about how people wish things
were different.  They would like to see "such and such" or "this or that" yet
now when it counts, when it really matters, so few are willing to speak up on
what they think.  Too few have responded about their personal concerns of which
Jake has promised to read.  Not only to read though.  Anything that proves
useful or valuable he has promised to pass on the the right people.  This means
marketing, designers, or maybe even the high-ups will possibly get and read what
each of us value and want to see.

  This isn't a pipe dream.  This is the real deal.  Dozens of AFOLs and KAFOLs
have already responded and shared what they feel is important.  Hundreds of us
have commented or complained about so many issues over the last few years that
it would be near impossible to go back and read just the opinions on this site.
Yet, still with a new and fresh opportunity set before us, we sit back and
ignore it.

  It is like the people who won't vote.  They think what they have to say is
important but their apathy is so great they neglect the very things that will
shape their lives for years to come.  They never use the "voice" to change what
they can.  Yet, they still find time to complain about something when it isn't
what they wanted.  Every vote counts.

  In this case, every reply counts.  Don't let this pass by.  Everyone can find
15-20 minutes to reply.  I am not asking for money or blood or anything that
will cost you greatly.  All I am asking for is your valuable answers to 11
questions.  What can I say that will help you decide.  I can't promise anything
that I haven't already.  I can't give away $100 sets to the first 40 replies.  I
can't bake everyone cookies and mail them out.  I can ask you, nay, beg you to
help with this effort.  Please help.  Please.  Help me (insert your name)
Kenobi, you are THE only hope.

Show Jake and LEGO what we are made of.  Don't let the chance pass.

Thank you for your reply.  Every answer counts.  Every opinion matters.

With due respect, Dan, I think that an eleven-question essay test is a bit of a
turn-off. I speak only for myself, but I've already articulated their likes and
dislikes throughout this forum, and I'm reluctant to go through it again.  I
suspect that this is why most online surveys are of the "rate this statement on
a scale of 1 to 5" variety.

I applaud your effort, though, and wish you luck with your findings.

Dave!

I know.  I decided to make this survey for that reason exactly.  I myself have
complained or praised dozens of new things made by LEGO and the chances of
anyone actually caring what I or anyone else thought about just about any topic
was almost non-existant.  I was hoping people would see that this was something
different and that it would prove helpful.  Nevertheless, I see your point
completely.  I love the speed at which other surveys can be taken but I always
get frustrated that I have to agree or disagree with a whole statement when for
me only part of it applies.  At least this way, my answer is personal and I know
it will be looked at.

Thanks for the best wishes, I think I shall need some luck to get people to
respond who feel as you do.  As we all do at times.  I figure if people can keep
gambling even though they lose every time then maybe some will respond when the
odds of winning are much better this time around.  Even if there is a chance
this will only be read by Jake.
