(...) And I'm sure I've said this before, but I don't buy this slippery slope. Yellow has been used to represent generic non-white peoples in the past. It's just my opinion that it is incapable of representing black people. (Someone once used the (...) (22 years ago, 7-Nov-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) This suggestion has been floated before, I believe, and in my view it makes a fair bit of sense! There then could be lugnet.sports.soccer and lugnet.sports.basketball (or sports.nba?? I'm not sure) and sports.hockey etc... In parallel I know (...) (22 years ago, 6-Nov-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.admin.suggestions)

(...) Good explanation, Anthony. I see it, but its so frustrating. I hate all the hoops the politically correct make us jump through. Makes some things that should be simple a real pain in the you know where. -Tim (22 years ago, 6-Nov-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) It was said before in another thread, but I believe it is a good point to make so I'll say it. If LEGO had introduced 'Minifigs of color' along side yellow minifigs, instead of the new caucasian lego color, then LEGO would be proclaiming that (...)

(...) While I like the brown minifigs, my one disappointment is the caucasian players are that icky color (can't think of a name for it) versus plain yellow. In Star Wars, they created minifig likenesses of caucasian characters/actors in yellow, why (...) (22 years ago, 6-Nov-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) Is it just me, or do the left hands on these minifigs seem different in shape? I wonder if they changed them to make it easier for them to hold the LEGO basketball or something. Weird to have minifigs with one hand bigger than the other, (...) (22 years ago, 6-Nov-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs)

For those of us who don't use Macromedia Flash, I've put screencaptures of the 3 new "draftees" from the ongoing LEGO NBA draft at lego.com/sports up on Brickshelf: (URL) when it gets through moderation, you can view this folder for a comparison of (...)

Does anyone know how many NBA figures TLC is planning on releasing? I wonder if they have to get permission from the players's agents before making a figure of them? Who are your predictions? What sort of sets do you think we'll see? I'm pretty (...) (22 years ago, 31-Oct-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.starwars)
