Nice Post!
Something like this could really direct TLG towards a more marketable product.
Cause the stuff produced now, with the exception of Star Wars, Harry Potter,
and the RCX stuff, is really inferior.
I actually like the Fantasy Theme aspect you proposed. It’d really play well
with the Potter line of products. Plus I'd love to see a Lego Unicorn, or
perhaps some Minifigure size Fairy’s! Elves, sprites, imps and a whole host
of 'Forest Creatures' would be truly excellent.
Yup, Choice #1 for me would be a new theme of ‘Fantasy!’
I like the rest of your new theme possibilities, especially the Revolution
theme. I think it’d do well cause it’s an interesting armed conflict theme,
yet it doesn’t contain the stigmata that the World Wars hold.
