Lately I've been using:
http://www.lego.com/myopinions/default.asp
to fill out their opinion surveys and send feedback through their "Send us a
comment" link. It's basically a text box that you fill in and then select a
category to send it under. It's not a direct email, but hopefully someone's
reading it.

It's my feeling that the company needs to continue to hear customers
speaking out on their current product offerings. They need to hear adults
saying, "You know what? Not only am I not going to buy this stuff for
myself, I'm NOT going to buy it for my kids. This isn't the kind of LEGO
products we want."
A company can only ignore that type of feedback so long.

Amen to that. :)
Fine, go ahead and produce "action figures" if you really think that's a hot
idea. But why why why aren't there any buckets of bricks on the shelves of
the stores near me? I'm sure I'll be able to buy Galidor... but I don't
want to. If I wanted action figures, I'd buy G.I. Joe.
If 1/2 of the space currently occupied by Jack Stone sets was replaced with
misc parts buckets I would be a happy customer. But this already stale
product line is clogging useful shelf space to a degree I didn't think possible.

I wonder if this isn't what people are most upset about. Is it that LEGO is
making action figures? Or is it that LEGO is making action figures that are
not backward compatible with earlier products. Other than Duplo (which
serves a tremendous purpose and should continue) this Galidor serves no
purpose in relation to previous sets. Where Bionicles moved away from
traditional brick building, Galidor has apparently abandoned it altogether.

Don't give up. I'm not going to. They can listen, or they can ignore. I'm
hopeful that they'll listen.
