I would love to see Lego develop a true bulk parts mail order system.
Currently, certain lucky AFOLs can go to nearby Lego stores or parks and visit
the “Pick a Brick” section to buy bulk parts. I would love to see this expanded
to a large scale mail order system. A large warehouse would house ALL currently
produced parts in all available colors. Orders taken from an online catalog
would go to this warehouse and would be subsequently filled and shipped.

- What types of products/themes/concepts do you think are missing from the assortment over the years?

The bulk brick or parts packs section of Shop at Home should be greatly expanded
in several ways.
One thing I would like to see is bulk packs of newly created parts. Many a time
I get a new set with a new part inside and wish I could have about 30 more of
this part to add to my collection.
I would like to see a permanent addition to Shop at Home: consumables. I think
anything that is consumed to make a Lego set, such as pneumatic tubing, string,
rubber bands, and most importantly, STICKERS, should be made available for
purchase online at any time.
Since I have mentioned stickers, I would like to suggest putting 2 sheets or
sets of stickers in each Lego set that uses them. Then it would be possible to
build the set with stickers attached and later disassemble the set knowing you
have a spare set of stickers to re-build the set at a later time.
One small item, that I know Lego just recently produced a LOT of, that I would
like to see as a REASONABLY PRICED bulk item is the technic caterpillar tread
link. Anybody who purchased the Lego Star Wars sandcrawler knows Lego has been
churning out a huge pile of this element. A parts pack of this would be nice.
Here is a mini-fig scale theme I think Lego should pursue (when I say “pursue” I
mean over the course of several years like the classic themes space, castle, and
town.): Lego Farm. This theme would be a generic theme (no licensed products)
and would consist of many sets over many years. The possibilities of this theme
could be limitless. Imagine tractors of all sizes, colors, and types, from
large 4-wheel-drive monsters to small lawn mowers. Imagine numerous implement
sets sized to fit any of the afore mentioned tractors. Imagine farm houses,
barns, workshops, animals, trucks, combines … the list goes on and on!
