Anyone else pondering something like this?

(From the animated TV Show: ‘Pinky & the Brain.’)
Brain: Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Pinky: Wuh, I think so, Brain, but if we didn't have ears,
we'd look like weasels.

What if, the next time that LEGO holds a vote for a set to be reissued, they
use the same types of concept pictures?  This could allow them to research
which color people might prefer before they even order the bricks to make
the sets.  For instance, in the case above they could see if people prefer a
light grey, dark grey, or mixed grey castle.  They could present several
variations on one set, or a couple variations each on a number of sets.
Again, all to gauge what people might think of an old set in a new color.

A good idea, is a good idea!        :)
I for one believe that this should be implemented.
But by far, any new Castle set that makes use of the
newer colors (read: sand-blue & dark-gray) will have
a definite advantage! The younger audience will certainly
respond well to any set with a nice collage of multiple colors
& shades. Especially the newer color-range that offers a more
sophisticated color-pallet. Jus’ look @ the new Monsters Studio
range. The uses of sand-based colors really adds to the overall mood
of the sets complimenting the bleaker shades of gray/dark-gray & black.

                            Yes, Pinky and The Brain
