Town
- Everyday buildings on mini fig scale, e.g railway stations, businesses to fit train displays

Railway stations... Don’t we have 4554 and 4513 etc. already? Re-release 4554
and keep 4513 alive and we have two great choices. Saves on R&D too. ;)
Strip malls or plazas would be great.
Not much to say.

World Buildings
- Taj Mahal
- Sydney opera house
- Empire state building
|
If they want these things to go retail, I can see it... 2000+ pieces set built
in micro scale and cost upwards of US$200. How’d Lego do with their previous
sculpture sets like Statue of Liberty? Lego may lose money on these things.

Vehicles
- Muscle cars, hot rods
- Ferrari e.g F40, F50, specific historical race represented
- Classic cars
|
I’d like to see a gen 2 TOYOTA PRIUS made into a motorized Technic set.
What about a dull 4-door people’s car like Corolla (or even Camry!) that nobody
else want to make a diecast out of?
A ubiquitous city bus would be cool too. Candidates: Prevost H3 series, New
Flyer D40LF, or Orion VII (The ubiquitous tour buses, transit buses in the west
and east respectively). These are best rendered the Model Team way. If you want
European, try one of these Vanhool
A330s.
Doesn’t 7893 already falls into this category?

- Classic planes from the early days of aviation
|
Wright flyer... check
Sopwith camel... check
Red Baron... check
Next stop... Hindenberg! :-)
Do a Concorde too!
| |
Other Structures
- Oil rig with functions
- Amusement park with functioning mechanical rides
|
These two are good ones. Is it the “waving hammer” type of oil rig or a drilling
rig? Speaking of myself I like off-shore drilling rigs the most.
Expand 5525 Amusement Park to minifig scale, with mechanisms thrown in, and we
have a winner!
My own stuff:
Can Lego please bring back themes and Technic figures to the Technic line?
(Snip)
I couldn’t care less about legalese.

| (...) Yeah, I wouldn't mind this either, so I could build my 04 or 06. But I'm not holding my breath, still too niche of a car to garner enough sales for Lego ;-) If it had anywhere near the gizmos of the real 2G Prius, though, it would be an (...) (18 years ago, 27-Feb-06, to lugnet.lego.direct)
