- What do you think LEGO would never do that you’d love to see?
|
-An animal accessory pack(s). Something like a zoo builder with each one having
an assortment of animals in standard and new colors with perhaps some new
animals. Maybe on for each continent. NA: brown bear, black bear, tan owl,
lightgrey wolf/dog, skunk (black cat with white stripe), puma (new mold),
brown snake, etc. SA: yellow snake, black panther (same mold as puma), teal
bird, spider, black monkey, etc. AF: elephant, lions (same mold as puma,
male would need a “hair” piece), cheetah (same as puma), zebra (horse),
brown monkey, etc. AU: kangaroo (don’t know how they could pull of this
first three), koala bear, emu, white bird, tasmanian devil (dog), etc. And
so on. There should also include amphibious and water animals. I would
think 20+ animals for each pack would be nice. Maybe even by animal type
instead of by continent, creepy critters (snakes, rats, spiders, scorpions,
frogs, bats), big predators (bears, many of the new big cat mold in various
patterns, wolf, etc), sea creatures (sharks, dolphin, star fish, crabs,
clams, octopus, rays, fish of some kind a new mold maybe), birds (owls,
falcon, tropical birds, eagle/hawk (new mold), gulls (new mold), etc). You
get the point I think. I must stress though that these must have variety.
We don’t need more and more black scorpions, bats and snakes. We need
variety in colors or at least printed patterns for things like tigers, panda
bears, tropical birds and so on.
-Minifig accessories. I loved building things as a child but I was always
jealous at the great accessories my sisters barbies had. Everthing
from food, bowls, hats, furniture and more that I didn’t have in LEGO.
Some more variety in this area would be great. A food pack with
chicken legs, a turkey, sausages, ice cream, cherries, bananas, apples,
bread and everything else LEGO has made for food. I loved the town
hat/hair pack. Maybe a new pack every couple of years with new hair
types and new colors. I would like to see the pigtails return in
brown, or the long braided hair in grey or tan. It is all about
variety.

- What types of themes/concepts should LEGO stay away from?
|
-Post 1900’s military, flesh colored minifigures (let everyone be bright
unrealistic yellow and equal), sports!!!!!
| |
- Are there any community projects/products (Moonbase? Great Ball?) that you’d like to see turn into a LEGO set?
|
-Vigs, small $3-5 set on a 8x8 plate that has a few figures and expresses a
specific scene. It would be great to have a master model that all of
them can combine into. Like having nine of them to form a large square
that was the whole picture where as each vig is just a part. These would
have to be detailed and eye catching.
| |
- (And as a follow-up to the last question – are there any projects/products that LEGO should stay away from?)
|
-As much as I like other projects costs can be prohibitive. Most things near
the $100+ range should not be made. Though something like a globe or really
nice large set would be nice in moderation.
| |
- What types of products/themes/concepts do you think are missing from the assortment over the years?
|
-Minfigure packs for all themes. Large Minifigure packs for all themes but
town.
-Accessory packs, ninja, rock raiders, harry potter, star wars, and many others
never got one. Older castle, pirates, space, and town had them but
they didn’t continue with them. Life on mars and spaceport had one
but they were wierd, not as good as the previous standards.
-Mythology series. Greek, egyptian, indian, norse, chinese, native american,
british would all be great as a series.
| |
- Are there things missing in general? On box? In the instructions? In the box materials?
|
Boxes are looking better than ever. I do miss the little cardboard tray that
used to be in sets. It made building much easier. It would be nice to have the
alternate model ideas always in the instructions as many people do not keep the
boxes.
| |
Thanks for your contribution!
|
No, thank you! I tried to be brief but when the sky is the limit, whew!

| (...) I have to say, I think these are excellent suggestions. I like the LEGO animals I have, but it's an odd assortment. If i were to build a zoo, there would be an elephant, a pair of polar bears, about 50 brown monkeys, and a huge herd of horses. (...) (19 years ago, 26-Sep-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)
