1.  Stop with the slapdash box packaging.  Opening a box and finding a bunch
of bags sloshing around inside feels very dismissive, plus you are
guaranteeing that either the instruction manual and/or the sticker sheet
will be crumpled/damaged.

2.  For the instruction manuals, print black parts in pure black with white
outlines like you used to do.  Black and dark stone are now pretty much
indistiguishable from each other which makes model construction more
difficult.

3.  Back off on the franchises if possible.  You're better off creating and
selling a product line that is distinctly yours.  The Vikings, Dinosaur
Attack and Designer sets rock in this regard.  That is the way to a
profitable future.

4.  Less Bionicle in the rest of the product line.  These parts have
extremely low compatibility with bricks and plates because the part designs
are so completely different from the System sets.  IMHO, they just don't
look right.

5.  Consider dropping the ban against modern military sets.  It would be so
awesome to build a Technic F-14 Tomcat with working swing wings, powered
landing gear and fiberoptic engines.  Plus, you're leaving this arena open
to your competitors to build a niche for themselves despite the fact that
their product is inferior.

Just my two bricks!
