LEGO was proud of having never produced sets that glorify war and violence.
They never produced (and I guess they won't ever produce) "Kriegsspielzeug"
like WWI or WWII tanks, bombers and so on.

But of course, swords and spears are purposed to violence. And nowadays
there ain't any sets that NOT include a revolver and/or a gun and/or a
skeleton (= minifig brought from life to death...).

im not familiar with the term, kriegsspielzeug (although im gonna take a guess
at something like 'modern war').. could you explain it for me?



Krieg: war.  Spiel: game.  Zeug: well, hazy on that one.  "Stuff"?

Of course, I use the castle and pirates stuff for games....
