John, your whole post was excellent. I really think that we ought to see more "Dear Lego" posts with constructive ideas like these and less kvetching. We've got to understand that TLC is saying that the crisis is that kids aren't buying Lego sets (...) (24 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) In lugnet.dear-lego, Tomas Clark writes: (...) Hmmm, every one of those product lines is distinctly apart from System in terms of both content and marketing-- except Creator. Creator overlaps with System in a pretty obvious way (obvious to me, (...) (24 years ago, 4-Feb-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general)

(...) Anecdotal as these examples may be, I have experienced the very same thing -- overhearing a child or parent talk about needing to get a more complex set than the juniorized sets provide. Even if TLC does extensive market research (which I (...) (24 years ago, 4-Feb-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)

A few people have asked if Town is going to turn into Duplo, and the mini-fig will be left out. Well, I believe it has already happened. Can anyone say "Racers"? And on another post: kids wanting more complex sets. I was in a local Super Wal-Mart (...) (24 years ago, 4-Feb-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)

I have some observations about this product. I think it is really fun, but I had to build the toy and play with it to really understand what it did. I wish the descriptions covered the "game" portion of the product. To be honest I didn't fully (...) (24 years ago, 4-Feb-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)

I'd like to make a suggestion on the use of lugnet.lego.direct and lugnet.dear-lego. Of late there has been much "debate" about whether TLC is doing "the right thing" or not, or somewhere in between. While some very legitimate concerns are getting (...) (24 years ago, 4-Feb-01, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.admin.general)

Wow...and I don't mean that in a good sense. I just saw some of the racers kits up close in a TRU today and was truly disappointed. They reminded me of a throw-away fast food toy. What is the point? Race them, watch them crash and well, that's it (...) (24 years ago, 3-Feb-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)

I don't make the decisions about "the future of minifigs," but quite honestly, I haven't seen, heard, or smelled a single thing within LEGO that suggests to me that the minifig is going anywhere.
