Great question, and since TLG has the resources to invent parts where there
was none brfore, I would like to see...Hmmm. Gotta think here, It's kind of
hard, but if I want something wierd I just build it. I don't worry about
what TLG is going to do. Aside from the sculptures and the Star Wars theme,
new set have been less than exciting in the last few years. sure I got all
the Life on Mars sets, but they were really only ok. I'd like some large
wheel/tire sets ala silver champion but with different rims and tires. I'd
like to build some old F1 cars with proper body work, but tires are a magor
crutch.
Really it doesn't seem to matter what they make, just so long as it's good
and it sells. I think the Camel is wonderful, and leads to many
possibilities. As far as I'm concerned, I get that and then I get to create
my own Fokker DR1 Triplane! It's not the model that's important, but the
ideas that is can spur on. Just browse Brickshelf and see what a wee bit of
spuring does!
