  • 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.


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. Other than an arctic base, a zoo, or an minifig reenactment of “Lost”, the polar bear is little hard to use :)

In addition to wild animals, it would be nice to have pets (dogs and cats of various colors) and farm animals available (especially a new mold for cows to complement the horses).
