What would be your LEGO Dream Set?
Before you reply, please consider the following: Your dream set...
...would have to appeal to both AFOLs and Children, worldwide.
|
| ...would have to be profitable for The LEGO Group to produce.
|
| ...would be sold primarily through the Shop at Home website, as well as in LEGO Brand stores.

My gut reaction to this question was one word - monorail! But I imagine
anything involving the design of new pieces (or re-design of obsolete parts)
would fail the profitable test.
So I guess I would like to see comprehensive, single-color bulk packs, which
would include multiples of every basic brick and plate size from 1x1 up to 2x8.
For example, the Statue of Liberty set contained enough variety of brick that,
if it were available in other colors Id buy one in every color. (Well, maybe
one in almost every color.)
Overall, the per-brick price of that set was very good (~1300 pieces for $200
USD, IIRC) although a smaller piece count & retail price would obviously place
it in reach of more buyers.
I think the current bulk options are a major step in the right direction,
especially with the new legofactory.com pick-a-brick feature, but it is still
nearly impossible to get a good variety of brick shapes in bulk. (Same problem
that the bulk tubs have always had in the past.) After all, what good is an
infinite number of 1x4s if you dont have a few 1x2s and 1x3s to use at the
edges?
