I like this idea... One way that LEGO could do this sort of thing without
worrying about how well a set would go over with the public is this:
Literally make them "Collector's Sets", that is, make a prototype, then
advertise it, but don't make the sets right away. Do something like the
Franklin Mint does, have a limited run. Accept pre-orders for the set for a
month or two, and then close off additional orders and actually do the run
that makes the parts for the sets in one lump. The instructions could even
come with some sort of "Limited Edition" certificate of authenticity to make
it even more of a collector's item.
Just a thought. What do all of you think about this?

| I'm not sure if this has been addressed or not, but since we have an ear listening at Lego, I thought I'd throw this out. Lego makes set for kids from ages 3-14 and a few even up to 16. Those sets are released in order to allow children to build a (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
