As I think that Lego has at least turned the corner in getting back to their
roots with the 2003 lineup, I only have three things I think would be
perfect.

Re-release the 3033 bulk tub in the same exact configuration as the
original.  The 4107 Creator tub is nice with the newer color selection and
all, but the lack of any quantity of the larger brick sizes stinks.

Release the 3044 bulk tub in the same brick counts as the 3033 but in colors
light grey, dark grey, tan, black, dark blue, and dark red.  As these colors
are so common in the newer sets these days, availability of them should be
no problem.  :)

I have been overall happy with the newer offerings in the Creator line of
bulk tubs, but they are still pale in comparison to the classic 3033.

Lastly, a line of bulk tubs identical to the 3033 concept but in plates
instead.  Same colors as the two ideas above would be great.

someone who is going can mention these ideas or suggestions or ask some
questions about it...

1.Lego should make something available to clubs to give out at events
(train clubs I am thinking of here). Something like "If you want to get
into lego trains yourself, here is what is available and where to get it • from"

2.Lego should make more things that go with trains other engines and
rolling stock. Yes we are getting a new train station and a new cargo • crane
this year but there should be more and better. For example, the yellow
train station would make a perfect legends set (if any parts LD doesnt • have
access to were removed). Or even better, a new design for a train station.
Or mabie a level crossing. Or some kind of coal/water setup (designed to
look good next to the MOT trains), something like that would be a nice
medium sized/small set

3.Lego should make the Santa Fe B-Unit accessory pack alluded to when the
SFSC first came out.

4.Lego should make more space sets, more space accessory packs and more
space parts (there are a few sets out there that are good for space but • not
very many). In particular, I want to see more "space" sets (be they
starwars or otherwise) that DONT use those curved panels and slopes and
canopies and stuff that TLC seems to be in love with lately. (I cant be • the
only one that doesnt like those parts...)

and 5.Lego should make more technic sets like the 8430 crane, the blue
motorbike and so on (either reissues or even better, new designs). Stuff
with studded beams and stuff. Also and more importantly, make available
accessory packs containing the most commonly used technic parts (gears,
beams, pegs, engine parts, belts, pullies, plates with holes and stuff).
Dacta does do some accessory packs but not everyone can get that stuff.
Many parents probobly wouldnt know about it (but would know about shop @ • home)
