All,

Richard and I (mostly Richard, thanks Richard!) have been working on a • new
survey tool to get a better handle on the AFOL part desires. We have • been
working on a super top secret project - we'll call it Project X -  for • many
months now, and it's just about ready for our pilot launch. But as part • of
this project, we would like to have your feedback on what parts you • would
most like to see in bulk form. I wish I could tell you more, but trust • me,
you'll love the outcome. Don't forget that because you don't hear • anything
from us in a while, doesn't mean we aren't working on terrific stuff!

The hope of this project is to be able to quickly and clearly generate a • Top
20 list of what specific parts in what specific colors the AFOL • community as
a whole would like to see us produce.

I can't promise that we'll be able to pull off every part request, but • we
will be listening and factoring your opinions into Project X.

You can fill out the survey (just once per AFOL!) at:

<http://www.pabtrak.com/survey/>

The Bulk Bricks survey allows you to choose up to 20 items each with up • to 10
colors. You can only take the survey once per AFOL, so choose wisely! • (But
don't worry.Richard's super duper "Parts Shopping Cart" allows you to • change
and modify your selection for days)

Please note that we have included only the current color selection in • this
survey. Richard has been kind enough to agree to a second version of the
survey that is based only on the new and old colors so that we can put a • bit
more quantitative data to that discussion about what parts should/could • be
"locked".

Richard has also been kind enough to open up a special forum on BrikTrak • to
report bugs (only bug reporting, please). You can find it here:

<http://www.briktrak.com/forums/display_forum_topics.asp?ForumID=29>

Again, sorry I can't reveal more than this, but sometimes that's just • how it
works. I figured it's better to get you involved earlier in the process • even
if I can't share the details with you!

Jake

Thank you very much Jake, this is the kind of community input TLC should • be
gathering.

I have a question: If I'm not going to buy parts in the new colors, but • would
love to buy those parts in the old colors, how should I answer the survey?
Should I just pick other colors (not new grays and brown) for those parts • in
this survey, and wait for the second survey to pick things in the original
colors?

Marc Nelson Jr.

Jake might want to jump in here, but for now let me answer this.
The second survey is going to be designed to specifically ask what parts you
would like to see in the old colors, whereas the current survey is more of a
general 'what parts would you like to see'.
So, I would recommend that you choose parts you would like to see in other
colors for this survey.
Then when the next survey is launched, you will be able to choose the parts
you want to see in the old grays/browns etc.
Hope it helps,

Richard.
