be surprized if they avoid using swastikas and the like, which is just as well
I believe they wouldn't be able to use swastikas and still legally sell in
Germany.

That symbol featured quite prominently in the films. Was there a special murfled version made for the German market? Maybe lego could do the same, similar to what they did with the Dino Attack theme.

Not that I particularly want to see a swastika in an official set(1) or anything, but I would prefer the sets to be true to the source material.

Don’t worry, Al, you may be able to take comfort that the sets include new guns in lieu of the murflable symbols.

No swastikas(1), but plenty of guns! No problems there!

Personally, I hope they make a set of the face melting scene.
