I would *love* to see lego produce some old-school style heraldry. Some basic
geometrical shapes, like chevrons, or any updates of the original
crusader-style crests would be welcomed by all, and lead to an increase in
sales. Actually, a brilliant sales technique might be for Lego to produce a
mini-fig pack with three or four *exclusive* shield & crest designs in it,
which would encourage the consumer to buy LARGE numbers numbers of the set to
be able to build sufficient armies for each type.
If TLC produced, say, a $5 set of 4 knights, each with their own, cool, UNIQUE
coat of arms, how many sets would YOU buy?
