		Re: Future Wild West Possibilities
(...) I read somewhere here that Lego only does yellow heads to stay away from race issues. Is this actually true? Has anyone confirmed this with Lego? Earlier I had just took the yellow head thing for gospel when I read it. Honestly I don't see (...) (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.western)

		Re: Yet Another Episode 1 Question
Eric, (...) Thank you for being the one to point this out--I thought about it but figured I'd be taken to task for being uptight or something, and after the day I had I didn't think it would be worth it.

		Why can't we have a Lando: Lego's Race policy
I was snooping through Brickset today, and came upon something. TLC has firmly taken a stand on the race issue, saying that they give children yellow heads and let them play with them however they want to. They say they don't take sides when it (...)

		Re: Why can't we have a Lando: Lego's Race policy

They're making Lego figs of REAL people. I think that they (...) (24 years ago, 30-Apr-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

However they are not based on the actors. Mini-Luke and mini-Han have yellow heads (...) (24 years ago, 1-May-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
