The LEGO Ambassadors have been asked to provide some suggestions to the LEGO
Shop at Home people about what types of things we AFOLs would like to see
offered or available from S@H. This is a good opportunity for you to make a
serious suggestion that will get passed on to those who are in charge of S@H.
Of course, this in no way guarantees that any of the suggestions will
necessarily bear fruit, but you never know until you suggest. I’ll collate
the results by the end of the weekend, although that doesn’t necessarily mean
later posts will be excluded.
This is a theoretical discussion, so there are no limitations on suggestions.
Of course, things like “free bricks for everyone” and other implausible
suggestions are likely to not make it through the review, if you get my
drift. But as far as topics go, this is a “sky’s the limit” discussion.
- What do you think LEGO would never do that you’d love to see?

I’d like to see detailed models of current production vehicles. We have the Enzo
Ferrari, but not everyone can afford a real Ferrari. Perhaps team up with
automakers when they launch new vehicles and launch a Lego version of it at the
same time. I don’t mean every new vehicle that is designed, but perhaps those
that are most popular. Chrysler 300C, Nissan Titan, Ford Mustang, Dodge Ram,
Hummer H1 (or at least H2) etc. come to mind.
I’d also like to see modern military sets. I know Lego has a stance against
this, but machines of war from centuries ago are no different than machines of
war today. Catapult vs. ICBM. Only thing different is one of them can go
farther in distance than the other.

- What types of themes/concepts should LEGO stay away from?
- Are there any community projects/products (Moonbase? Great Ball?) that you’d like to see turn into a LEGO set?
- (And as a follow-up to the last question – are there any projects/products that LEGO should stay away from?)
- What types of products/themes/concepts do you think are missing from the assortment over the years?
|

- Are there things missing in general? On box? In the instructions? In the box materials?
|
Colors in the instructions are hard to differentiate. Black and dark grey look
too much alike, as do some of the transparents. I think it should be switched
back to the old style. Also, I like how in the larger complex sets, there is a
quantity and picture of what elements are going to be used in that step. If
they would implement this throughout almost every set, I think it would be
easier for new and younger users to build.
