I already do, because LEGO toys can be anything a child can imagine; they
drive kids to be creative, and can be used over and over in many different ways.
And as a child grows, and can use smaller elements, the larger elements from
Duplo can still be used, so they never really lose functionality.

More availability at the store level of basic building sets; piece packs
for individual elements; more lower-priced basic sets in greater combinations.

I wouldn't - I believe most of the cooler sets are too pricey already. The
average parent doesn't have $70-200 to go out and buy a set, except MAYBE on a
special occassion like a birthday or Christmas. AFOL spending habits are
another story - we'll save up if we want something, but for us average Joes that
reduces the amount we can spend on a more regular basis.
> * What new products would you launch?
The moonbase idea lends itself to a product line - sell basic link/support
kits in various styles and sizes (1-4 links), then expansion sets to fit
different purposes (habitat, factory, meeting places, etc). More classic castle
sets (not Knights Kingdom) along the same lines - base kits then expansion
material; more train-inspired creations.
> * What should LEGO be doing that it isn’t now?
Making available at local stores the variety of stuff that is now for many
of us only available via S@H.
Not so strongly grouping sets and pieces by gender - there are many fine
examples of how Belville, Clikits, and Bionicle pieces have been and SHOULD BE)
used cross-theme in town, space and mecha realms.

| 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 (...) (20 years ago, 16-Apr-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego) !!
