   Fantastic way to develop both a childs imagination & mechanical sense (in
these days of electronic games), as well as at the young end of the range fine
motor skills. Also, an awful lot of fun for parents & children to play together.

   Simple Technic incorperated into models (the Harry Potter mechanical clock
tower, for instance).

   Hmm... more flexibility, with for insatance more alternative models per set?
Tough question, actually.

> * What new products would you launch?

   Mindstorms upgrade (with more significant contests/challenges right in the
box) for the older (OK, and adult) end of the spectrum. Continue the
designer-type series for a younger age bracket, perhaps leaning more toward
"town" style where multiple models integrate naturally into a large-scale theme.

> * What should LEGO be doing that it isn’t now?

   When I can succeffully run a privately-held company for generations while
producing some of the highest quality products in the target market, *then* I'll
feel qualified to answer that question.
   If this was a couple of years ago, I'd say "market analysis via surveys or
more focus groups" - but there my suggestion is a tad behind the marketing
department.

   Thank you, Jake! This may have made your week, but your response in this and
other forums, particularly *on a weekend* when the rest of us *AREN'T* working,
has made the week for me and I'm sure many others.

  Holy Mackerel! LEGO survey...
 
All, I know that some of you have attempted to fill out the survey announced yesterday on LEGOfan.org, only to be turned away with a message about the survey being complete. After some late night phone calls and early morning emails, I've been to (...) (21 years ago, 16-Apr-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego) !!
