| | One way for Lego to improve its set designs
|
|
We all have a reasonable idea of Lego's set design process: 1. Choose, create or license a new theme/subtheme 2. Produce a range of concept models 3. Decide on new pieces to mould (eg Insectoid legs) 4. Design and manufacture 6-10 sets per release (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) A world without TLC frightens me. And it frightens me that the company may be in trouble. Not grave trouble. Not yet. But maybe in a few years. IMO, the new catalog indicates a slight shift in the right direction, but not by much. Megabloks is (...)

(...) Why does that worry you? If a competitor is able to manufacture a product that receives praise, and that product is still less popular than the leading brand, I'd think the leading brand would be elated. Alternatively, if MegaBloks keeps (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
