Has TLC considered that children role play as well as playing with Lego
Bricks? Ie maybe lego could scale up some of the Minfig acessories? and do
playsuits as well. (FUT otfftopic.debate on whether toy sowrds encourage
violence in later life...) After all Lego wants to become a brand name.
Personaly I'd love to seet-shirts but what I would really like is a suitably
designed neck tie.. Show your work-mates what you think about Lego by
wearing one of the speciall designed neck ties...
Some possible designs are - The Lego(R) Logo
Lego Studs
2x2 Bricks in a repeating pattern
Minfigs...?
Theme Logos.

Propose follwing changes in the Lugnet Hireachy:
Lugnet.lego.product.suggest - General product suggestions to Lego
lugnet.lego.product.community - Disscussion and sugestion of
products such as the t-shirts
lugnet.lego.product.community.submit - Special group to which designs
only can be posted for approval by Lugnet/TLC.. No Followups allowed...
Of course there might also need to be a few more new newsgroups...
lugnet.lego.product.suggest.part - Disscusion of new building elements.
lugnet.lego.product.suggest.sets - Disscusion of new sets/ranges.
lugnet.lego.product.community.media - disscusion of community designed
media such as posters,videos,audio tapes.
lugnet.publish.media - disccusion of issues rleated to
video and other forms of publishing(esp Digital)
lugnet.anim - Disscusion of animation with
Lego(R) bricks.
lugnet.anim.showcase - Group for posting animations done
in Using Lego(R) elements...
lugnet.media.showcase - non commerical fan-produced media
(not model designs or animations..)
and related followup...
(intended that links only be posted
and related media stored on a different server.)

In no particular order..
------------------------
Posters.
Mousepad...- Turn it over and use it a baseplate?
Stickers...
Fan creataed media... Collections of artwork, drawings, writings etc...
Convention Videos? ... Ie Showcases of what went on at LegoFests's...
(could also inlcude fan done animations here... Aren't many yet but with
studio out there could be several soon!!)
I would also hope that TLC was thnking of way to allow AFOL's to particpate
in he design of new ideas.... Of course there are issues of confidentiality
here....
