(...) Really? I was expecting a "I don' know nuthin' 'bout birthin' no babies!" (I hope I didn't mangle that quote too badly). And in the victory parade, weren't the Gunga (Gungans?) just a bit, umm, funky? As in, "get down, get funky". Was there (...) (25 years ago, 9-Jun-99, to lugnet.starwars)

  Minifigs=Mongols?
 
First at all I apologize all possible LEGO fans with Mongol origin but this strange idea hurts me from some time. I was thinkering about LEGO domestic animals and list was not so long: horses, cats, parrots (are they domestic?) and hawks/falcons (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jun-99, to lugnet.general)

  Racial politics in LEGO
 
I must catch a flight in 15 mintues and will not have email for a few days, but had to post quickly: 1.

(...) Eric, I seriously doubt that the yellow minifig is as repulsive as domestic violence. I think you cheapen your argument by reacting in that way to Bruce's assessment of TLC's position (as I understand his comments). That's TLC's position, not (...)

Jason, (...) Usually, when I see this, it does mean it, but I digress, I am rather sick of this discussion to begin with. (...) I have little faith in reiterating this discussion about Lando and Panaka for the 5th, 6th, 7th, etc. time. I am sick to (...) (24 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.starwars)

(...) Speaking of <set:9171>, doesn't the figure almost dead center in the Pause DB picture remind you of Spock? The first time I saw it, that's who I thought of. Also, when I saw this set, I thought if LEGO can make a DUPLO set with people of (...) (24 years ago, 12-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

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 (...)

(...) And this is the problem with licensing movies, books, etc. If the main character is to be "acurately" represented, there must be "colored" minifigs.

  Concerns with Racial Attitudes and Lego
 
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.
