Here is what S@H wants to know:

(...) Yes! Brick built. Not like current police/hospital etc. REALISTIC. Need to have parts that can be used for other things. Real colors. Dark red, dark tan, tan. Not: Red, White, Green Blue.

  Re: Shop At Home feedback requested.
 
I suppose a lot depends on who it's targetted at. Level of juniorization and model scale are big questions. Classic cars at the mini-racer scale (meh, ok)? Minifig scale (neat!)? Model team scale (drool!)? Considering that it sounds like it's a S@H (...) (19 years ago, 15-Feb-06, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) I would be very interested in these and other world landmarks at a high fidelity microscale. They have to look realistic, yet not cost $400. Some good examples have been created by AFOLs - although I am going to decline naming them or (...) (19 years ago, 16-Feb-06, to lugnet.lego.direct, FTX)
  Re: Shop At Home feedback requested.
 
(...) This is my *favorite* concept. CITY themes over the past few years have been basic construction, fire, rescue and police. I would like to see more "everyday" buildings that can fit into an ever-expanding town. Either Americana or European (...) (19 years ago, 16-Feb-06, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) I love the idea but I don’t see how something like this would be profitable.

(...) Pursue: More AC trains! :p More Town/City themed stuff, basic bricks, Star Wars, Harry Potter. Greater variety of Pick-a-Brick in stores and online. (Service packs and bulk packs seem kind of limited at the moment, and that makes me sad.) I (...) (19 years ago, 16-Feb-06, to lugnet.lego.direct, FTX)
  Re: Shop At Home feedback requested.
 
(...) Everyday buildings, yes, yes, yes! But make them realistic, solid, and either 3-D or at least a substantive facade (i.e. doll's house style). None of these "breezeway" buildings. Bridges are of less interest to me, but 1-2 on the same scale as (...) (19 years ago, 16-Feb-06, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Yes, this above all other ideas. More earth toned architectural elements. A small grocery, a barber shop, a malt shop, a Spamcake Diner® (if they can afford that license:-) (...) Bridges are nice, but big, which equals $$$. Best to give us a (...) (19 years ago, 16-Feb-06, to lugnet.lego.direct, FTX)
