|
|
Hey all, So I posted a second draft but got no responses, so I'm assuming that everyone (or the few people who read it) agree with and approve the text. I'll present it again below. I would like to print a copy, sign it and mail it this week, but (...) (20 years ago, 30-Nov-04, to lugnet.color)

I've drafted a letter, and had my wife review for grammar, context and presentation.

I recall Jake mentioning at a Brickfest convention that the flesh-colored minifigs are only done when there's a likeness to a person, either in real-life or as an actor/person in a licensed product.

(...) I also believe that is correct. I'm not sure that most malls are actually public property though. Although the "public" is invited to shop there, it is still a private business, and you may be asked to leave unless you had permission from the (...)

Hi Jake, There was the suggestion of a petition to the company and someone mentioned petitioning parents.

(...) Why would you want to guess? Go to Clark's Color Tree Roots page: (URL) search the page for color 232 in the "Lego Name & Number" column. That gives you a one-row cross-reference between LEGO, Bricklink, Peeron, and LDraw. What more could you (...) (20 years ago, 29-Nov-04, to lugnet.color)
