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

- Put all of the Pick-a-Brick inventories online and keep them current. The stores will ship but we need to know what they have. PaBTrak is still vaporware and we AFOLs haven’t stepped up to the challenge of keeping updated inventories online for most locations, so corporate help would be great.
- Make “everything” available via S@H. I referenced the 1x1 letter tile pack (http://peeron.com/inv/sets/4677-1) earlier in this thread; there’s no mention of it on the S@H web site.
- Provide just a few key elements at true bulk prices. I’d be thrilled if just 2x4s in a bunch of colors were available at ~$0.03-$0.04 instead of the ~$0.14 we currently pay at S@H and PaB. Add 1x1s and 1x2s and we’d be golden. Really large models, extensive landscapes, etc. could be built cost-effectively with low-priced bulk of just a few brick types.
- Quickly evolve LegoFactory to the point of “no SKUs” - custom-pack every set order from the parts palette and give us true modeling flexibility.
... and the obligatory color suggestions:
- Change back to the original greys/brown. Letting the new color supply bleed out gradually over the next few years is fine.
- Failing that, reintroduce the original colors alongside the new ones.
- Failing that, introduce a single new “bulk pack” each year containing key new elements from that year in the old colors (and maybe key older pieces that were never available in the old colors). Let the aftermarket, e.g. BrickLink, handle aggregating the individual pieces at market prices. I have to admit, though, that we AFOLs shot ourselves in the foot on this one by failing to buy up the “old color” bulk packs that were already produced.
Thanks,
Steve
