Why not have submissions be the same or related to the "Cool LEGO Site of the
Week" contests? The community (which would be the ones doing the purchasing)
would get to choose which design to produce.
Sub scenario 1:
Every (1 month | 4 weeks), put up 5-10 designs, and make the (1 | 2 | 3)
winning design(s) available for 6 months, then retire it. Yes, just like TLC
sets. But unlike TLC sets, retirement is only effective for (1 year | duration
TBD).
A benefit is that the designs don't stagnate in a warehouse. Another is A
detractor is that per-unit costs may be slightly higher than full-on mass
production.
Sub scenario 2:
Produce sizeable amounts of the winning design of the (quarter | time unit
TBD) to make sales and to stock up, then continue sales from the stock while
the next new design comes up to speed.
A benefit is locked-in low per-unit price. One detractor is imprecisely
gauging demand and overproducing, much like TLC is having problems with right
now.
