We have just launched a new session all about Bulk Bricks at
http://www.LEGO.com/myopinions.

I completed this survery and have completed the others as well.

One thing kept coming to mind as I went through,  On a number of screens you
are asked to pick up to 5 items and rank them.  However, the list of items
offered is never complete.  When you get to the next screen, that shows the
overall rankings based on other participants votes, you often find that the
#1 item on the list wasn't even one of your choices.  It is therefore safe
to say that while your #1 item in any category might have gotten 1000 votes,
it really might have gotten 2000 or maybe 5000 votes had it been an option
available to all.  By randomly changing the lists of available items to pick
from you aren't getting complete and accurate data back.

Are the lists of possible choices really that long?  Isn't is possible to
either:

1)  Put all the options on one screen and let you pick 5 and/or add your own
(as you do now)

2)  Reduce the possible # of options and once again, put them all out there
for each participant to see.

And while you are there, you can voice your opinions about LEGO Auctions. Be
sure to check back often, as we will be updating My Opinions with new
sessions soon!

Three words...

"LEGO auctions bad"

This is a terrible marketing idea.  I hope you folks decide against ever
pursuing it.  It would mark yet another instance of making bricks available
only to those who can afford ever escalating prices.  Please do not take
this idea any further.  If you truly want to make people happy.... just
offer better bulk bricks at better prices.  It's just that simple.

Thanks for the surveys though!  I'm happy that the company is finally
reaching out to its customers through its own website.

Keep up the good work.

All the best,

Bulk Bricks... that wonderful subject. For all of us here, there never seems to be enough access to bricks! We want more colors and more variety of parts. Many times, we want a few of this and some of that, but there always seems to be a few special (...) (23 years ago, 7-Feb-02, to lugnet.lego.direct) !!
