    Invitation to give input to new LEGO Play Themes

    CopMike
    By CopMike,

    UPDATE

    Instead of a thread in the Embassy forum use my mailadress under Viewing Profile and send your ideas to me so I can forward them to TLC.

    For those that already have written their ideas in the thread - I´ve saved them and will send them to TLC, so DON`T e-mail me them again!

    From Tormod Askildsen, Head of LEGO Community Development:

    A briefing from the LEGO Designers in PMD who are working on future LEGO Play Themes. They have asked us to engage the LEGO Ambassadors in an ideation session. You are welcome to ask for and include ideas from your respective LEGO User Groups as this is a "non confidential input session". There will be no feedback from the LEGO Group at this point.

    Here´s a new chance to give input on the future of LEGO sets :grin: .

    Use these different categories:

    Create a new, never-before-seen, LEGO Play Theme! (Place words and images under the following categories)

    Theme Name (something short and catchy):

    Characters (who is good and bad guys?):

    Conflict (why do they fight, and what do they fight over?):

    Setting (where does the story take place?):

    Background Info (if relevant):

    The deadline for submissions is Jan 12, 2009.
