(...) Yeah: don't. Though *I* don't care if you do make these minifigs, please don't publicize them on LUGNET, and if you do, at least flatly call them "German." This is a rather touchy subject that I personally don't think should be brought up. (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jul-00, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.build.minifigs)

Thank you. (...) I am German (living in Canada since I was 6) and was teased relentlessly in public school because of my heritage.
