  Re: Dear mr lucas...
 
If they've been able to avoid with the number of sets from all four films up to this point without including an African-American or otherwise ethnic minifig and still have the enormous success these sets have had, I don't see them taking any risks (...)

  Re: Why can't we have a Lando: Lego's Race policy
 
(...) Do you realize how many problems Lego would have if they started making non-yellow human minifigs? First, they'd have to stop making yellow minifigs altogether. If they didn't, and let them slide as "caucasians", they'd be opening themselves (...) (24 years ago, 30-Apr-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

  Race depiction in early LEGO
 
Last week another debate about race and color representation appeared on these groups. I looked through it for a place to place this message, but got lost in the debate group and so I decided to start a new thread. This post is just meant to shed (...) (24 years ago, 6-May-00, to lugnet.general)

  Re: Hitler minifig (Adventurers)
 
I hate replying to my own posts, but this is just too funny to resist. Directly from the anti travel guide "Don't Go: Eurpoe"'s German history section...

  Where are the Neimoidians?... (SW:EpI villains)
 
The recent threads about ethnic minifigs got me to thinking... When is LegoCo gonna make some Neimoidians? (These are the green-/dark grey-skinned fishy-/lizard-people evil, yet cowardly merchant-villains in "Star Wars: Episode I".) From a SW purist (...)

I doubt that any of us would be quick to make such an assumption if we saw the same incarnation of him alone in another setting, or in a context without a written key. I'd (...)

Hey everybody... After reading a few of the highlights from the recent debates on adding different color minifigs into the Lego product line, I thought I'd offer a few words.

And what about LEGO's precious excuse for not including the more minor characters that we'd actually want to see (Wedge Antilles, Mon Mothma, Greedo, (...)

  Ethnic minifigs
 
Advice and ideas are needed. One of the ways that we are celebrating the move to new office space is by having me "lego-ize" our personnel (plus families). For most ethnic groups its possible to get away with using the stock minifig faces -- yellow (...) (22 years ago, 20-Aug-02, to lugnet.build.minifigs)
