x-posted to .events.brickswest because BJ is going to be there, mabie
someone who is going can mention these ideas or suggestions or ask some
questions about it...

1.Lego should make something available to clubs to give out at events
(train clubs I am thinking of here). Something like "If you want to get
into lego trains yourself, here is what is available and where to get it from"

2.Lego should make more things that go with trains other engines and
rolling stock. Yes we are getting a new train station and a new cargo crane
this year but there should be more and better. For example, the yellow
train station would make a perfect legends set (if any parts LD doesnt have
access to were removed). Or even better, a new design for a train station.
Or mabie a level crossing. Or some kind of coal/water setup (designed to
look good next to the MOT trains), something like that would be a nice
medium sized/small set

3.Lego should make the Santa Fe B-Unit accessory pack alluded to when the
SFSC first came out.

4.Lego should make more space sets, more space accessory packs and more
space parts (there are a few sets out there that are good for space but not
very many). In particular, I want to see more "space" sets (be they
starwars or otherwise) that DONT use those curved panels and slopes and
canopies and stuff that TLC seems to be in love with lately. (I cant be the
only one that doesnt like those parts...)

and 5.Lego should make more technic sets like the 8430 crane, the blue
motorbike and so on (either reissues or even better, new designs). Stuff
with studded beams and stuff. Also and more importantly, make available
accessory packs containing the most commonly used technic parts (gears,
beams, pegs, engine parts, belts, pullies, plates with holes and stuff).
Dacta does do some accessory packs but not everyone can get that stuff.
Many parents probobly wouldnt know about it (but would know about shop @ home)

(...) Frank's comment aside, what else could come from LEGO that'd you like to see? Maybe a how to get started (LEGO instructions...) <throwing out ideas> How about a listing of LTC/LUGs to get the enthusiast aware of what may be available in thier (...)

As I think that Lego has at least turned the corner in getting back to their roots with the 2003 lineup, I only have three things I think would be perfect. Re-release the 3033 bulk tub in the same exact configuration as the original. The 4107 (...) (22 years ago, 13-Feb-03, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.events.brickswest)

The only thing I have been wanting for the last 10 years is 6x8 or similar sized plates(i.e. 4x10, 8x8) in any color.(though I would prefer black or grey) I would like to purchase a few thousand of those please. -Mike Petrucelli (who is limited in (...)

(...) ... sort its S@H inventory out so that items listed as "in stock" actaully are "in stock" Twice I've had items "backorder cancelled". I'm informed there is a lack of synchronisation between online and telephone ordering. Scott A (22 years ago, 1-Mar-03, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.events.brickswest)
