Personally I don't want Lego making anything mecha. I want a genre that is
untouched by their "master builders". A place where I can still build what I
want and NOT have it compared to Legoland or some store display. Also (and I
know I'm in the minority here) don't really care what sets Lego releases.
They can be crap or good; they can have this piece in such and such color or
that color. I really don't care. I'll just keep buying whatever I find
interesting and using however choose.

Lastly IMO the mech buiders here have made mecha models that Lego couldn't
touch. I'd be a shame to see them take away some of the glory of those
models with inferior "official" sets. Case in point the Millenium Falcon.
That said I'd LOVE to have a Rick Hunter minifig!!!

Later,
Bryce

Ever heard the phraze 'if you don't ask you don't get', It was only a
suggestion anyway, it's not like I was expecting them to say 'ah what a
great idea'. It's not such a bad idea, I bet the Star Wars licenced sets
sold a lot more than the normal space theme. A licenced series is always
going to receive more interest from the public. It wouldn't even have to be
a huge line, 2-3 sets should do it, like the UCS series, but with a
price/peice count similair to the millenium falcon or Imperial shuttle.
