They have had all the input and direction they need via Lugnet.
My thoughts aren't too dissimilar to many others here.
I can't see Lego having reacted positively to the points that I and others have raised here many times.
But that's Lego's choice if they choose to ignore it.
Anyway, as I said I am so disappointed in Lego these days I cant be bothered to tell them anymore as it seems to fall on
deaf ears.
I am the customer. It is not my job to tell them what to build - well certainly not over and over ad infinitum as we
seem to here.
If I dont like what they produce then I will simply take my custom and my money elsewhere.
Their loss.
But I guess I just don't fit into their target market profile much any more, so they probably don't care.

Sorry, but I cannot agree.
The 2002 catalog seems to just reinforce the fact they are sliding from construction toy to action toy maker.
I dont want action toys. But if I did then there are far, far, far better ones out there than Lego are making.
And I dont think Lego want to change this trend. It seems to be working for them as a company, so good luck to them.
Profit seems the only motivation nowadays, and I dont totally disagree with that sentiment either. They are not a
charity. Nor am I
It's just that me and Lego seem to be on diverging paths. The only part that interests me anymore is bulk bricks and
some aspects of Lego Direct (like trains), yet that seems way down their list of priorities.
I can carry on building MOCs with the bricks I have of course, but without something new once in a while to excite me, I
might end up loosing interest in that too.
