(...) That's not a bad little survey, all and all. One question, though--were the images that appear in the survey used with permission? It would be unfortunate if a useful tool were compromised by an overzealous picture-protector. Dave! (20 years ago, 15-Apr-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) It took me about 20 minutes this time, but then again I was able to go through it a little more quickly since it was my second time through. It is kind of a pain, yeah, but I think it'll be worth it. On a related note, I'm very pleased that (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) I felt the same on that. I'm generally uninterested in "sets", as I tend to build the model once and then tear it down as MOCfodder. So I'll buy a "set" when the things I want (new pieces, colors, figs) outweigh the things I either don't want (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Yeah, which is a big reason that the LEGO Fan team and I were able to wrangle a tangible reward out of the process. We knew that the survey was long and the requirements for head count were steep. In the "Everybody goes home happy" mindset, we (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Ditto to both those reasons. 1) I have enough LEGO to build almost anything I want, 2) I don't have any money to spend, 3) if there is a certain piece or two I'm missing, I buy them on Bricklink. I wish the survey had let you back up to (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

OK, I filled it out. Comments: 1) Geez. Kind of a pain in the neck. Like 70 questions, many with a dozen or more sub questions. It's like doing your taxes. 2) Seemed to be authored by a European. Several reasons: one, the number of questions as I (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) A few minutes? It took me 30 minutes to slog through this. I do want to aid the LEGO community in learning about Fans of LEGO, and I want to help Brickfest, but please be honest on how long the survey takes. -- Nathan Wells (20 years ago, 15-Apr-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Eh, sadly, I think it's true. Most AFOLs are after cheap Lego because we buy so much. Not all of us, mind you, but most of us, I think. And of course there were a few things that weren't really quite .... right. Like "Do you buy less Lego than (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-05, to lugnet.general)

(...) I was able to take the survey using Firefox (on an XP system). It took me about 20 minutes to take, although I really wish that for certain questions, they would allow write-ins. They did on some, but not on a key one to me. Question 24: What (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

I just took the survey. It is long but I'm sure this important for the LEGO company. There are a lot of questions about how much on this and that (Playmobil, Fischer-Price, MB, etc). When they look at my replies, LEGO will probably think I'm a (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-05, to lugnet.general)

(...) (snip) (...) I took this, you can get to it from the (URL) LegoFan> page as well. I had to use IE to take the survey, it didn't work for me in FireFox. YMMV. I found it took about 15-20 min or so to take, you will be asked a number of (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

The LEGO company would like to understand their consumers better and they need YOUR help! LEGOFan has been working very closely with the LEGO company recently to help develop and promote an online survey that helps them better understand their (...)
