- What do you think LEGO would never do that you’d love to see?
|
Bring back classic light gray, dark gray and brown.
Better yet, make a set like this (even if in the new colors):
http://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=709986
-Five packs of minifigs like castle guys or vikings, for around $1 each fig.
-Bring back the previous tubs with flat top.
- some more realistic modern aircraft.
- more electric lighting... not just light sabres, more flexible.

- What types of themes/concepts should LEGO stay away from?
|
Dunno.
| |
- Are there any community projects/products (Moonbase? Great Ball?) that you’d like to see turn into a LEGO set?
|
Not particularly.
| |
- (And as a follow-up to the last question – are there any projects/products that LEGO should stay away from?)
|
Not particularly.
| |
- What types of products/themes/concepts do you think are missing from the assortment over the years?
|
Echo of much of what’s been said...I can’t think much about themes or concepts..
but just based on basic product..
- architectural packs: either missing or weak. For example. The current roof pack does not have the inside corner slope.. I think.
- arches, more than one color.
- windows. How about a range of windows in at least two colors. Instead of white for some sizes and red for others and black for still others. How about white and black in a full range of sizes... or white, black and (reddish)brown?
- How about a pack of windscreens? I’m thinking that there are still some key windscreen parts that could be real useful... thinking aircraft mainly.

- Are there things missing in general? On box? In the instructions? In the box materials?
|
Box materials: I liked the internal box and the plastic trays that were there
in past years. But I can imagine that costs some money, which is tight.
Box art, alternate models: I look at sets in the store, and look at them hard.
Do I want this set? What is the real part distribution like? I find it hard to
tell by looking at the picture. Virtually always I underestimate the value to
me of the contents from a reusablity perspective. If I look it up on peeron,
then I get a much better sense. So, there needs to be a better way to
illustrate the parts content. I suspect that the target audience for a harry
potter set may not care about the part content as much as the model itself. But
still, I would presume that most of these sets come apart quickly enough and
become something else. A better set of alternate models? I’ve seen AFOLS do
some amazing alternate models .. they could be employed do do this.
Or not.
