Perhaps we should concentrate on 'known active parts' first. Look at the
current year sets as soon as they become available. Look at the colors
available. Do you see something in there that you would like a large
quantity of ? If so, there is a good chance that those parts are
available, or easily produced, at Enfield. If we can focus our first
attempt on those parts, it will create less descent within TLG. Make it
an easy order for TLG to fill.

That may or may not be true, though.  I remember reading several
accounts that indicate that TLG makes just enough of a part to fill
the need for that year's sets.  So just because a certain Model Team
truck has a couple of train doors in it doesn't mean they have lots
of train doors laying around.


I would think that there is some lead time on the sets, so knowing what is
currently available might not help us that much.  Knowing what is coming
NEXT is probably where we would need to be, since those are the sets that
are currently in production.

Of course, this is all speculation, as I have never been to the Lego
factory...
