> 1) Do you want to see Disney sets continue?
Yes. I don't want to see anything discontinued ever! [General principles
being - every set yields some interesting elements.] For now, I see the
MM sets as great part packs.
MM sets have potential.
I have been trying to figure out what perturbs me about them. I think it
comes down to the fact that they are not "real" sets. There is no
primary/featured model that uses all the pieces. Therefore there are no
"real" sequenced instructions. The booklets are more of a freestyle
approach. I think it is a cop out to say that they don't want to inhibit a
child's creativity and only want to present suggestions. (In building, for
me, it is very helpful to build the featured model before redesigning or
deciding to use a set just for parts to enhance a totally new bizarre
creation.) Okay so they don't want to have story books like Fabuland, so
why don't they at least have a featured model and have the characters build
the structures in a clear, orderly well illustrated manner as with the
Belville sets. ( I am thinking about the beach ones here as I don't have
any of the larger fairy tale ones.) In one instance, the fishing bucket
set, the instructions leave out the placement of a critcal piece. (4178 p.6
the car, a 2x4 red plate must be used to increase the length of the base of
the car to attach all the top stuff onto.)
> 2) What new characters would you like to see?
I want some generic animal type characters- Fantasia elephants ...
> 3) Do you think sets based on Disney World rides would be cool? Which
ride?
I would like a complex amusement park theme set scaled to Fabuland. Lots of
moving parts., train, monorail, roller coaster & more. It wouldn't have to
based on Disney World.
> 4) Do you have interest in sets being based on Animated Features, for • example
> Snow White or Lion King.
Snow White sounds good. Lots of animals, forest, food-apples, dwarfs, a
mine with rail and cart underground system, cottage with furnishings & more.
Pinochio might be good too. Donkey island amusement park, life inside a
whale, puppet theatre, toy shop...Figaro! Jiminy(sp?) Cricket with a
removable hat!
> 5) What Fabuland elements would you like to see brought back?
