Gary:
This letter is well-worded and expresses which parts packs a lot of us
would like to see issued by Lego. A few months ago there was a
suggestion on rtl that actual letters be sent to Lego by rtl'ers, each
expressing specific wants for new parts/ideas/sets. The letters were to
be sent in a coordinated way, so that, for instance, one month everyone
might send letters asking for a better windows/doors parts pack and
another month everyone would send letters asking for train themed
elements, etc. Of course, not everyone would agree which parts were
most needed, but the idea was that if the theme chosen for the month was
one you agreed with, you would write a letter to Lego. I propose that
this idea be implemented for '99 and that January's theme be the parts
packs that Gary has chosen. If everyone who is interested in these or
similar parts packs were to write an actual letter to Lego this month, I
think the effort would be noticed.
Gary, if you would get the ball rolling by sending this letter, I will
also send a letter asking for the four different types of parts packs
that you have suggested (with some variation). I would encourage others
to do the same. I think it is reasonable to spend a little time
composing one letter a month, just 12 a year, in an effort to be heard
by the company who produces the products we spend so much time working
with. What do you say?

| I would support a variation on this. Each month, a Form Letter is posted on a website specifying a parts pack. Everyone who supports this would then download it, sign it and send it in. It would be much more organized that way. Maybe the month (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jan-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)
