| | Re: Panaka is yellow?
|
| (...) All human LEGOfolk are yellow, including Asians and Native Americans. Why should LEGOfolk of African descent be any different? Was there a fuss when the Islanders showed up, and they were yellow? I'm not entirely sure what racial group they're (...) (25 years ago, 23-Dec-99, to lugnet.starwars)
