LEGO ICO?!

[Lego Petman]

Hello!What do you think about “modern crypto trends” in terms with TLG?How can they use it for good?

...Crypto trends? What the heck is that?

I absolutely think TLG should do an ICO with the unit being the "stud" and we can earn it by getting votes on Ideas and donating compute cycles whenever we have LDD or other virtual building tools running.  And of course they'd convert VIP points to crypto Studs, too.   

Seriously, though... that might be too far outside their scope of business.

i talk about crypto currency, block chain and similar technologies.I mean, this stuff is everywhere nowadays, and i ? TLG can not go away from this?.They do AR (there is an app in appstore with augment reality) , so what is next step?

i like you ? idea! ? What do you think about 3d printers, which prints decent lego bricks with mouth subscribtion for new sets (and even a possibility to print “old sets” from 2001☺️ for additional price?)

I love the creative thinking, but there's no way (currently) a 3D printer can get anywhere near the quality required to print Lego pieces at the consumer level for a service like that... at least not in a cost-effective way.  I do think a subscription service direct from Lego with a nice discount and some exclusive offers would be cool.  For instance, you sign up for $100/mo for a year, and you get to pick up to $130/mo in sets to be delivered to you, plus some kind of exclusive maybe a couple of times a year (like the mid-size free-with-purchase sets they do).

It'd also be cool if they offered re-releases in a Lego Ideas/Kickstarter style manner:  They put up a couple of sets per quarter that they'll re-release if XXXXX number of people commit to purchase them.  Even if the number of purchases required was quite high, it would be a nice way to fulfill some fan demand and guarantee them whatever margin they need to make it happen.

3d it is not for today, but i believe it will work one day fot TLG.You have a very good visionary skill with this kickstarter issue.Why is no platform for demand goods from producers directly?Like change.org but with goods?.I think it will work (for TLG especially)
