  • Would you buy LEGO toys for children 0-11? Y/N
I already do & I look forward to having kids so i can buy more

  
  • Why / Why not?
Best toy/hobby EVER!

  
  • What feature(s) would you add if you were the marketing director of LEGO?
NONE - in fact go back to Basic & Universal sets like 730 & 725.

By the way, these sets would make great Legends.

  
  • How would you change existing LEGO products if you wanted to sell them for
Sets should proportionally have more inexpensive classic/traditional parts to keep actual cost down, but piece count & therefore bring retail price a little higher. Classic/traditional parts include: bricks, slopes, plates, & classic/traditional specialized pieces (hinges (NOT click-hinges), car bases, wheels & axles, antennas, tools, etc). Don’t introduce built-up/specialized pieces & new colors so often.

  
  • What new products would you launch?
Classic Space, Classic Town, & Classic Castle (nostalgia is the new ‘new’)

  
  • What should LEGO be doing that it isn’t now?
Transition the current range of bulk tubs to have more of a classic ‘spread’ of parts: more like Universal/Basic sets of the 1980’s & 90’s than just rectangular bricks (yes i know there are slopes, but not enough other classic/traditional specialized pieces as mentioned above). Eliminate non-building-toy lines (shoes, games, etc.-if a manufacturer wants to buy a license from LEGO, fine, but LEGO shouldn’t be bearing the startup costs). Bring back finger hinges & 1980’s & 90’s style piece range & set styles.


   So dangerous questions, to be sure, but the office of the CEO has asked them, so you know the responses will be listened to!

Thanks again, everyone. This incredible response has made my week.

(...) SNIP I've thought about this some more, maybe add $1 to sets over $10 so the small 'impulse' sets don't change. OR raise the average price per piece some fraction of cent (or 1 cent if absolutely neccessary). PLEASE DON'T MOVE ANY NEW (...) (20 years ago, 9-May-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, FTX)

All, I know that some of you have attempted to fill out the survey announced yesterday on LEGOfan.org, only to be turned away with a message about the survey being complete.
