PRODUCT IDEA
My little brother's new Lego set - which is a big police station - has inspired a new product idea. What the world wants is a JACK REACHER Lego set. Available in this set :


  • 1 x Jack Reacher

  • 1 x sexy lady

  • 50 x generic bad guys


  • Local cop shop (there are not enough bricks to make the walls all green, so some of the bricks supplied are white to indicate peeling paint; includes 3 x local cops)


  • Local motel (LED 'Vacancy' sign never works, authentically)


  • Nasty bar (includes 2 x "beer belly" minifigs)


  • "Fancy city locations", comprising "fancy city gym" and "fancy city coffee bar". The Reacher figure's shoulders are slightly too big to fit into either of these comfortably.


  • Big bad guy's "Jackie Treehorn" style house (this is the most expensive thing in the set)


  • Remote barn (Void if placed in same room as any of the above; includes 4 x slavering hounds)


Cross-selling opportunities exist with the "Classic American Cars" set and the "American Government Buildings" set.

By the way, you forgot:

I love the 'fancy city location' shoulder disparity.

Could there be a tiny button to press which makes Reacher laugh for five minutes?

My favourite lego sets to date are from theory.org.uk. I met Angela McRobbie this year and didn't have the nerve to mention her lego disco.

It's got to sound convincing when you make Lego Reacher say "I mean, I'm a big guy. Bigger than most. I'm not scared of many things."

Lego Anthony Giddens (in his Lego study) is delightful.

Don't forget the Swimming Pool Builder cross sell, constructing it will work every muscle in your body.

You can also cross-sell with the "public transportation" range. Reacher needs a lot of Greyhound Buses.

My reaction to this went "giggle giggle giggle giggle FNAR SPITTING DRINK OVER KEYBOARD". It was the "4 x slavering hounds" that did it.
