It wouldn't surprise me if it enables LEGO to put slightly more specialized bricks on the wall than usual, considering one of the issues that keeps them from doing so normally is that a casual buyer might not know how to use them. The pick-a-model concept gives LEGO a way to demonstrate the usefulness of parts like Mixel joints to people who are only familiar with more basic LEGO building.Aanchirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04758261805365974871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-18422552702172915382017-02-10T16:02:49.416+00:002017-02-10T16:02:49.416+00:00Also meant to say - I will feed back on the LAN wi...Also meant to say - I will feed back on the LAN with suggestions for next year so will certainly make your point about brand retail.Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188856208086872634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-24205488531328972472017-02-10T15:57:51.774+00:002017-02-10T15:57:51.774+00:00Yes I agree Dave, and they're also aware it is...Yes I agree Dave, and they're also aware it is not a huge sample... by presenting results here I'm perhaps the one giving the survey more credence than it 'deserves'. I just thought it was interesting. <br /><br />Obviously getting everyone's opinion would be ideal, but the LEGO Ambassador Network was set up as the means for the company to interact with the community, as dealing with all (or even a lot of) fans is impractical from a resource perspective on their side. It's worth noting they are continually expanding the reach of the LAN by bringing in new RLUGs and RLFMs (Recognised LEGO Fan Media, which is what New E falls under). Many of these are quite different to your traditional LUGs, such as photography collective Stuck in Plastic or social media collectives like #brickstameet, so certainly a broader and more diverse range of AFOLs is being reached as time progresses. <br /><br />Re brand retail site survey, I do not know the answer but can imagine that the resource involved in setting that up may outweigh the value. But this is only the 2nd year of this trial and they have expanded the sample reach from the first year, so if it proves successful they may well put more resource into reaching more people in future.

I think they could certainly use some of their social media presence and poll a general public as well as targeting more AFOL related sites. Resorting to RLUGs only is such a small cross section of the actual AFOL community though. LUGs are nice and all, but there still is a large majority of AFOL's who aren't part of them and still aren't even aware of them. Why don't they actually do surveys on the brand retail sites? This whole thing just seems wonky to me. I'd like to see results from a better source before giving any of the results credence.

Most of my LUG complained when the Build-A-Model was introduced, but I felt it actually brought a handful of interesting parts to the mix where previously there had been none. Doesn't mean I started buying lots of PAB, but it wasn't a complete wash anymore.<br /><br />Then again, none of the colors listed here, and very few of the shapes, really appeal to me as something I'd want to buy at PAB, either.Purple Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-19415150714918940082017-02-04T20:49:54.978+00:002017-02-04T20:49:54.978+00:00I want Teal!

I have three walls within close driving distance. I regularly visit the walls. Based on this I would only get the 1x2 tile and 2x2 tiles. Those are good for the finishing touches. I like the dark red and dark blue though.<br /><br />Let's hope the next batch has more tiles, or unique useful pieces.

No "Friends colors" (purples and pinks and azures, for instance) that I'd love to have an easier time getting in bulk. Very few parts that are more specialized or niche than bricks, plates and slopes—the only ones that come close are the foliage and masonry bricks, and while the choices that were made would certainly be useful in building most of them aren't much different from the sorts of things we normally see on the walls anyway.<br /><br />I suppose I should just be thankful for what we have gotten through other initiatives like the "Pick-a-Model" (which are often a great source of parts like Mixel joints or printed eyes).Andrew Barnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11723179808721244651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-80247988212483229552017-01-29T19:22:18.175+00:002017-01-29T19:22:18.175+00:00They were two separate questions; favourite colour...They were two separate questions; favourite colours and favourite parts.
