Yes, most excellent post, Richard.
On the classic brick front, though, I sent an email to Lego direct last week
asking for a Lego Sculptor kit. I suggested a set contained in a tub, like
the 3033, but the elements would ONLY in one color and would include plates
and tiles in addition to bricks.
The main "model" would be a Lego sphere, but the manual would be more of an
idea book than a manual. Also included should be a pad of Lego graph paper.
I recommended the basic colors to begin with: red, white, blue, yellow,
green, black, and medium grey. After that, they can move on to the more
exotic colors like orange, purple, sand red, sand green, brown, dark grey,
tan, etc.
I told them that I would personally buy at least two of each the day they
were introduced.
I LOVE the Arabian Nights concept, and that also kind of hints at an
Egyptian theme. They already have a mummy type thing with the Adventurers,
how about going back to the real timeframe?
A Roman or Greek theme would be AWESOME!

| I believe the single color tub to be the most favorable for a SaH exclusive but on store shelves it would be a flop. It would take too much floor space and how would a store order? Would a case come evenly packed? Many giant retail stores won't (...) (23 years ago, 4-Sep-01, to lugnet.general)

| Speaking of which, does anyone have a rough concept of what 1200-1800 elements can build, sphere-wize? Does anyone want to take a swipe at a proposed element breakdown for LEGO Sculptor?
