Wait, what do you think your post is - not depressing? I keep dreaming it's
real, then waking up to reality - That's DEPRESSING! :-(
Great ideas, BTW:

Of course.

> Add-on track for monorail
Also known as people-movers, wanted very much! See thread:

> Factory
Will it be a lego factory?
> Office Tower
> Apartment complex
> variety of houses
> Hospital
> Sports fields of several kinds, with equipment and players
> Small shops of various kinds
> School
In other words, a REAL town - not totally, controllably disasterous...
I wish...

Agreed (with all of the above)

Yep, some of your normal, everyday people (once more - a town contains people
other than heroes, gas station workers, and race-car drivers.) <slam on
keyboard>
Also, how 'bout some winter closed for more northern areas? I mean, my
minifigs all freeze up here in boston...

Definitely! No more Red Roofs! (nothing against them, except BORING)

Yeah, my dining rooms (in my NORMAL HOUSES) are full with pink and red chairs.
Ugh.

Mm-hmm.

Cats, dogs, hamsters, m-f scale please!

yes Yes YES!!!

Agreed again. People nowadays don't walk around town with baseball caps,
especially if they don't have their favorite baseball team on it...
Not only grey but white hair too. People live to eighty, and their hair color
changes...
Now about the blond: I think there's a reason behind this hair color missing
from collections. Think about it - yellow hair on a yellow minifig face? Ugh.
Bad. Either TLC realized that, or otherwise bleach hasn't reached lego-w-orld
yet...
Now, a solution could be simply tan hair (like Luke Skywalker)!

Yep.
> * Tiles! by color, all sizes.
Oooh yeah! Then I could build a normal pool! (and an ice-skating rink too)
> * plates in all colors, including green,grey and pink
Yes again...
> * train stuff... I won't open that can of worms
There's just too much stuff to want...
> * All colors of baseplates in 32x32, 32x16 and 16x16
16x8 sized too
> * cupboards and drawers in various colors
Add kitchen equipment - pots, pans, fabuland refrigerators and sinks
> * fire equipment (hoses, cabinet doors, ladders, etc etc)
> dream on.... <g>
I was gonna say that ;-) <sigh> :-|
Great ideas!!!
Of course TLC won't do them...
All the worse for them.
OK, mostly for us.
