I think that TLC would be better off to make NEW sets, but that they should
return to the design principles that led to the sets that are now considered
to be their best work.  I'd be happy with a new theme that was in the spirit
of Blacktron or classic space or whatever your favorite theme is.

Definatly a good idea. Especially for trains. Come on, TLG build something that
accually looks remotly like a train that really exists, not this 4560/4561
garbage. And make the trans, especailly the accessories available to all stores
that wish to carry them.

I agree there. I'm a train collector. I have several. When I phone around looking
for more I'm often told
"You don't want a lego train, you can't get the accessories or track but though an
expensive mail order outlet."
Or something to that effect. HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE TURNED OFF BY THIS?

Also, I was in toy's R Us the other day with my wife. We were going to drop some
cash on starwars. (Sale) but it was NEXT week. Sigh. We got to talking to the Staff
about the Lego stuff and they said that the thing that moves the best at their
store was the Trains.  So, in Vancouver, Allot of people have them. I hope they get
more track though. As the train almost joins it's self around the oval. heh.

I really wish lego would allow the sales of train stuff in Stores... It's
madness...
