<chop chop>
                                  Here are my     Final      -!!!Top 5!!!-
                                               (from a list of 32)
                       New possible, probable, and profitable themes for 2003.

      <drum roll…>

……………………………..#1
26) Bulk Elements/ Single color bulk bin -  Lego sphere
[If done right, this step towards true bulk distributing could really set
Lego upon a path towards profit, and redefine their roll towards becommin’ a
company that truly believes in creation with ‘no-boundaries!’]

……………………………..#2
6) New Castle (Knights of the Round Table, Camelot, Excalibur)
[It could encompass Fantasy and History! And it’s an already established
genre!!!]

……………………………..#3
4) Underwater/ Atlantis
[Would Lego have to buy the rights® from Disney?]

……………………………..#4
8) Roman Theme
[Lego could easily make this their Flagship theme for 2003 with the right
advertising.]

……………………………..#5
28) Battletech / Mecha / Gundam
[Similar to Life on Mars but far more complex!]

(A tie for 5th place in my mind.)

……………………………..#5
25) Realistic Architecture/Sculpture
[Famous creations or landmark buildings would sell world wide.]



       ,’,’,’,’,’,’,SOO00oooooo, what’s your (five 5) choices  from the 32?

Ok... here are mine: this is a very hard decision so mine are not in any order!

1, 25) Realistic Architecture/Sculpture  = 10
2, 1) Fantasy Theme/  Lord of the Rings  = 10
3, 6) New Castle = 8 (Knights of the Round Table, Camelot, Excalibur)
4, 7) Vikings Theme  = 3
   8) Roman Theme  = 9
   9) Ancient = 5 etc... (I think all Mythology should be together)
5. I agree with Lou here... "For the Townie in me (still my fave theme), I
have often thought it would be
cool to have a whole "Alpine Village" that includes:
Town square - Swiss Villa Hotel - Camera Shop - Coffee Shop - Restaurant -
Gift Shop - General Store - Police Station - Fire Station - Ski Lodge up on
mountain made of BURPS and bricks Micromotor-based cable cars from "town
level" up to the ski lodge - Alpine train - Airport with Helistop - Train
station - Ski & Bike shop - Car rental - Bus station"

He forgot a post shop! have to have somewhere to send those post cards :P -I
can almost picture these sets.

Yes this sounds cool to me too, but my input would be like based on
Canada/Alaska style, with Log cabin huts, the grizzly bear, skiing minifigs,
etc.  I already have the rocky river retreat, but it's not the same as the
above.

I would vote for bulk stuff if I knew the possibilty would be available here.

??? New Theme Proposal ??? The results are in! O.k. so because today is my day-off, and cause this is just plain fun, I've decided to compile a complete summary of the top new sets for Lego in 2003.
