Shop at Home has asked the LEGO Ambassadors to get feedback from the comunities about the concepts listed below; The response we gather and compile will be used to, decide which themes to develop further: Make sure you read the legal disclaimer (...)

(...) Yes! Brick built. Not like current police/hospital etc. REALISTIC. Need to have parts that can be used for other things. Real colors. Dark red, dark tan, tan. Not: Red, White, Green Blue. Reasonably priced. (...) Yes! Brick built. Earthtone, (...) (18 years ago, 15-Feb-06, to lugnet.lego.direct, FTX)
 
  Re: Shop At Home feedback requested.
 
I suppose a lot depends on who it's targetted at. Level of juniorization and model scale are big questions. Classic cars at the mini-racer scale (meh, ok)? Minifig scale (neat!)? Model team scale (drool!)? Considering that it sounds like it's a S@H (...) (18 years ago, 15-Feb-06, to lugnet.lego.direct)

  Re: Shop At Home feedback requested.

  Re: Shop At Home feedback requested.

A bulk bucket would be far more realistic and would be far more marketable to both the adult collector and mass retail. (...) I love the idea but to make models that (...)

  Re: Shop At Home feedback requested.
 
(...) Everyday buildings, yes, yes, yes! But make them realistic, solid, and either 3-D or at least a substantive facade (i.e. doll's house style). None of these "breezeway" buildings. Bridges are of less interest to me, but 1-2 on the same scale as (...) (18 years ago, 16-Feb-06, to lugnet.lego.direct)

One more thing for my list: Bulk theme buckets and tubs. For example - Castle bucket with a selection of knights and vikings. Plenty of earth tone bricks to build castles and towers.
