Agreed. I'd like more animals - Duplo has the most now - and make them
articulated (at least head movement like the horse and polar bear). (They've
"juniorized" the Duplo elephant! Couldn't guess why).

This actually sounds somewhat against your argument to Lego's ability to
compete with Playmobil. These items are available in vast quantities within
many Playmobil sets.

Take a look at Fabuland, they made a few back when... - I have a drum, tuba
and accordian. I wouldn't be too injured if they came back. There's the
trumpet from Fort Legoredo.
I've seen a model of a piano somewhere recently ("Well done!" to whomever it
was done by)- so I think they'd not want to make items that could be
constructed - to avoid the "juniorization" comments.

Maybe not to scale or color, but there's something along these lines in
Belville. Maybe they'd adapt them? A friend of mine built a truly beautiful
gate and fence set from grey lightsaber blades and other Star Wars pieces.

I don't totally disagree with the making of juniorized elements. Some cannot
be made from bricks and plates (with the excact same dimensions) - but those
that can be should go away.

| To Whom It May Concern (and therefore the least likely to actually read it): TLC's ambitions are probably an exercise in overreaching. Belville will never be Barbie. These terrible video games will never compete with Doom or Myst. These timepieces (...) (25 years ago, 10-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
