Speaking of which, how can you have an NBA collection of any sort without
Jordan? I'd love to see a 'classic' line with Rodman, David Robinson, Larry
Bird, Magic J, etc.

Again, total agreement. I like how they skirted that issue as well. Of
course, now they'll have to release a famous actors line so we could go back
and redo the recently licensed sets. That is, if you wanted to. I'd
personally love to have the option of redoing my kits with Mark Hamil,
Harrison Ford, Daniel Radcliffe etc minifigs.
Come to think of it, they *shouldn't* do Mace and Lando in brown... they
should probably keep the issue skirted by releasing Samuel L Jackson and
Billy Dee Williams minifigs instead. (Or even Samuel L Jackson as Mace
Windo, just to differentiate the realistic themed minifigs from the classic
yellows).

Lots of agreement here... where's Shaq? Vince Carter? And I want a little
LEGO Steve Nash!
Hope NHL players are next, eh? (I meant in terms of sports franchises. I
still think they should release a Studios: Actor's minifig line ASAP).
