People, it is time to unite all the Adult Fans of LEGO from around the
globe and persuade or force TLG to take action that will benefit them
and us.

I hope someone can take the mantle and run with it.

I would suggest that Todd & Lugnet be the best choice if willing, as
every LEGO builder on the net eventually ends up there or will see
posts about it here in RTL. And of course we must spread the word to
every adult builder, and obtain their input and support.

How about a web page attached to Lugnet where you can answer these
questions that every company on the planet DOES WANT TO KNOW.  Leave
blank any questions you don't wish to answer.

You Name
Your Age
Your Occupation
Your Household Income
Your Address
Your Country
Years Collecting LEGO
Number of Children
Number that play with LEGO
Total Set Count
Current Piece Count (Estimate)
Estimate how much you spent last year on LEGO
Estimate how much you will spend this year on LEGO
Themes collected
Old Themes/sets most wanted again

And one short paragraph that explains how The LEGO Group could best
meet your needs as an adult purchaser of their products.

I agree with this totally. I think we should get off or butts and do this. I
also suggest we call and complain to "costumer service" too. If they get about
30-50 calls about this for a while they will most likely reverse there
direction and head back to the early 90's and late 80's when they had good
sets.  Unless we start now and fast we won't get anything done. But remember
only constructive. We must Start now.  Please reply if you agree.

(...) I agree. But I am also positive that we need to aim higher than customer service. I am also positive that Lugnet is the WRONG forum for the many suggested online marketing database things, and other like suggestions -- a little bird told me (...)

Originally this message was about some LEGO train cars. It is time AFOL (`Adult Fans Of LEGO' for the new readers) take action that prompts a change in the business practices of The Lego Group (TLG).
