Dear Lego Direct;
With the introduction of the Lego Factory/Pick a Brick site you have given to us
a huge resourse. Thank you. There are some items that I, personally, would love
to see reintoroduced to the Pick a Brick assortment. I understand that not all
pieces can be made at all times, but there seems to be a great market for them
within the AFOL community.
With the introduction of the Ultimate Train set we see that Lego has
reintroduced some great pieces that were long missing. In that same vein here
are some parts that I think should be reintroduced:
1).the split level train base in light grey and other colors. This could even be
reintroduced with a re-reintroduction of the club car, (still a very popular set
that commands a high price on the secondary market).
2). The 9v train light set. What happened to this? This is a great acessory that
NEEDS to be brought back.
3). Train wheels and bogey plates. Yes we can buy them on PAB, but which wheels
and which axel does it take?
4). 1x6x5 Window frame in light grey. Very useful piece that was only produced
for one set.
5). hinge windows in clear from the Club Car set. Again a great piece that still
commands a high price on secondary market.
6). Increase the amount of pieces for PAB and offer multiple colors for each.

There are many pieces that are very hard to find and would benefit both the AFOL
community and Lego Factory sales. With an increase in the amount of product
offered by PAB this would draw sales away from secondary sources and put the
money back into the company. We all love the product. We all want you to be here
for a long time. Help us help you.

(...) Hi Damon, I enjoyed reading your post and share many of the same sentiments. I recall LEGO saying somewhere that generally speaking, sets re-released as Legends do not sell very well. This seems odd to me, since I would jump at the chance to (...) (17 years ago, 30-Apr-07, to lugnet.lego.direct)
