I've moved on from wanting a space Legend. Yeah, I'd buy it- but I'd really
rather have something new.

I don't see any reason for a fan-created Star Wars set... we've already got tons
of SW sets.
The main thing I'd like to see on any new space theme would be SNOT
construction. I want some official sets that use well-integrated SNOT, and show
everyone how to do it. Greebling would be good too. PCS would be a great
delivery platform for both of these techniques, but anything else that does this
would be fine by me. There are a number of builders who hang out in .space who
can consistently do beautiful work- I'd love to see Lego pick someone from here
to do a My Own Creation set.

I don't see Lego doing PODs... they're cute, but I'd guess not interesting
enough for broad appeal (to non-FOLs).
