  • What do you think LEGO would never do that you’d love to see?
  1. LEGO/The Sims sets: Minifigs and expandable homebuilding sets, including road baseplates.
  2. Bring back the classic greys.
  3. REALLY let customers buy whichever bricks they like. The choice of availability at S&H (and PAB, for that matter) is very puzzling. Who actually thinks it’s a useful assortment? Come up with a system to pool pre-orders or limit it to sufficient bulk so that it makes sense financially.
  4. Bring back Mosaic but make it larger/expandable.

  
  • What types of themes/concepts should LEGO stay away from?
Sets with too few parts (too many one-use parts)...LEGO is about building things, let people build! Let the knockoff products go in that direction.

The people that answered “War/Violent Themes” crack me up: what the heck is star wars about? Knights? Cowboys and Indians? Ninjas? LEGO is already there, admit it.

  
  • Are there any community projects/products (Moonbase? Great Ball?) that you’d like to see turn into a LEGO set?
Brickquest...figuring out how to make this into a collectible/expandable play set could be a great potential product line for Lego (like HeroClix, etc.)

  
  • (And as a follow-up to the last question – are there any projects/products that LEGO should stay away from?)
Sports. If LEGO fans want sports, they’ll go watch or play them. I think (judging by clearance sale content) TLG has conclusively proven that non-LEGO-fan sports fans are not going to buy LEGO just because of a sports theme...drop it and move on.

  
  • What types of products/themes/concepts do you think are missing from the assortment over the years?
  1. Architecture
  2. More Model Team (Realistic cars, planes, dioramas)
  3. Technic models that aren’t “skeletal”
  4. Look seriously at the “brick wish list” for new elements. Many would be great, and useful for LEGO to design their own stuff as much as it would for LEGO fans.

  
  • Are there things missing in general? On box? In the instructions? In the box materials?
I do agree with the other post about discerning the colors in the instructions. Black vs. dark grey just doesn’t read!

  Ideas and Suggestions for LEGO S@H
 
The LEGO Ambassadors have been asked to provide some suggestions to the LEGO Shop at Home people about what types of things we AFOLs would like to see offered or available from S@H. This is a good opportunity for you to make a serious suggestion (...) (19 years ago, 23-Sep-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.theory, lugnet.market.shopping, FTX) !!
