We do not yellow to mean white. We want it to be generic. So ANY thing with a
real person, or a character will be flesh tone... but alpha team and world city
will be skin tones... duplo has had skin tones, remember.

One thing to add to this, Jake passed around a couple of the new Harry Potter
minifigs. This was the extent of the "new set revealing" that was done. I
suspect we will not see as much of the new set revealing. In one way it's a
bummer to not get to see a new set in person. On the other hand, this revealing
has been replaced with much more open previews hosted by various fan sites,
which provides an opportunity to see more sets, and for all of us to see them.

I had dinner with Jake Sunday night, he said there is a new set that he *really*
wanted to premier at Brickfest PDX, but it didn't work out.  He gave zero
indications as to what type or what theme set it was, but he says it is really a
great set and we'll like it when it is released.

It was kind of funny, I could see he was frustrated at not being able to tell us
more -- so I'm guessing it *is* a pretty amazing set.  Time will tell!
