Yes, it nicely represents the small community that is LUGNET, but since it

Does this mean that you'd put faith in a vote on the LEGO.com site
representing the LEGO buying public in general?

Yes, that was exactly my point.  LUGNET does not represent the whole of the
LEGO buying community... only a small percentage who are 'in the loop'.  If
you wanted real data about what the general public would buy, you would post
surveys/votes on LEGO.com and see what sort of results you get.

Take a look at http://www.canoe.ca

There is a survey (mid way down, right side) every single day.  This is a
great way to gather information... for free.

What if LEGO.com offered lists of parts in such a survey on a daily basis?

Q:  Pick which of these parts you'd like to next see released as a bulk part:

     o  Grey 2x2 tiles
     o  Grey 1x3 bricks
     o  Grey 1x8 bricks
     o  Black 4x4 plates
     o  Yellow 2x4 plates

Then take the part from each day with the highest votes and repost them at
the end of each week or month in a run-off to find out which of the favorite
parts would get the most votes among that group.  You'd quickly see what a
large cross-section of your buying public would be interested in.  This
would include folks who don't even know LUGNET exists.  And... as a side
benefit... if the survey were updated daily, it would drive extra traffic to
the site... for FREE.  LEGO needs to realize that not all advertising costs
money.

Allan B.
