Aus gut informierter Quelle

wurde mir dieser Brief an die Lego-Botschafter zugespielt. :-)

Hello LEGO Ambassadors!

My name is Phil McCormick; I am a Senior Designer at the LEGO Group working within a small concept group specializing in new theme generation.

We are looking for new LEGO set opportunities within the Play Themes line-up. Play Themes are sets involving characters and stories, where the minifigure always plays a key role. The big theme this year is Power Miners. Some sets from the past include: Agents, Aqua Raiders, Exoforce, and Mars Mission. Usually the stories are conflict-based (good vs. bad) and revolve around treasures or missions. The stories that accompany Play Theme sets help spark the imaginations of our target group: boys aged 7-9.

Currently we are in an “insight phase,” gathering inspiration for the next big Play Themes opportunity and we would really like your input. We hope to involve you as much as possible for the next few months as we take in the ideas. Please submit ideas for themes as detailed below. Limit your words to a few sentences; we encourage you to submit pictures, drawings, MOCs, to accompany each story. Feel free to involve your greater fan community at this point--the more ideas the better.

Things we do look for:
-Simple, well understood themes (Usually, placing a “twist” on a known universe works well).
-Unique Model expression, or play experience to accompany the set.
Things we do not look for:
-Castle, or IP (Star Wars/ Indiana Jones/ Sponge Bob/ etc…). They each have devoted project teams which are separate from us.

The deadline for submissions is Jan 12, 2009; but we do encourage you to post earlier. Thanks and we look forward to your input!

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):"

Use these different categories:

Conflict (why do they fight, and what do they fight over?):
Setting (where does the story take place?):
Background Info (if relevant)


Wörtlich übersetzen kann ich es nicht, aber im Großen und Ganzen werden die Botschafter gebeten, Ideen für neue Spielthemen einzureichen (vielleicht findet sich ja jemand, der es übersetzt).

Bemerkenswert ist noch, das die Botschafter aufgefordert werden, ihre Fangemeinschaften mit einzubeziehen. Je mehr Ideen um so besser!
Schlusstermin für die Einreichung ist der 12. Januar 2009.

Also haltet euch ran!

Gruß
Werner
