- What do you think LEGO would never do that you’d love to see?

1) Bring back minifig packs for themes. I’m on my knees begging for this. What
was so wrong with 5 or 6 bucks for 4 or 5 pirates? I find it infuriating that
my KKII collection has more “named” good knights than mindless badies.
Seriously (I’ll use KKII as an example here), its great that a castle comes with
5 defenders and only 2 attackers, as long as theres a way to supplement either
side. The idea behind the town minifig packs that they have is great, but it
only appeals to town people. Any theme that they stick with for more than a
year should have at the very least a small minifig pack that is available (even
if only online).
2) Someone mentioned this already, but since we’re in a dream-state here, a
roleplaying or table top strategy game (especially one with useful collectible
elements) would rock. They’ve done random packs of things before (bionicle
masks), why not have random packs of weapons and equipment that served some
purpose in a game setting.
3) Of course, better bulk brick selection, but I think this point has been
beaten into the ground with this thread. :)
4) Strictly from a sales perspective, if they want a guaranteed bulk brick sale,
make tan slopes available (including corner slopes). Seriously, who, at one
point, hasn’t wanted to build the cliche pyramid. I know it’s overdone, but
come on, hands up. You know you have. Don’t lie.

- What types of themes/concepts should LEGO stay away from?
|
Sports.
| |
- Are there any community projects/products (Moonbase? Great Ball?) that you’d like to see turn into a LEGO set?
|
Not really. Most community projects are great because they weren’t dreamed up
at LEGO.
| |
- (And as a follow-up to the last question – are there any projects/products that LEGO should stay away from?)
|
Things that aren’t based on the brick.
| |
- What types of products/themes/concepts do you think are missing from the assortment over the years?
|
More recently, a nice long lasting (non movie based) theme. Pirates, classic
castle, these were great for years because everything worked well together.
That doesn’t really exist anymore.
| |
- Are there things missing in general? On box? In the instructions? In the box materials?
|
Instructions do need to be a little clearer in regards to colors. It has
already been said, but dark gray and black are nearly impossible to tell apart.
