(...) I still don't understand the whole big deal with the old-style helmets. How many new molds has Lego made in the last copule of years with Bionicle, HP, Starwars, JS, Belville etc etc... how much would it hurt for them to make ONE to re-release (...)

Hello all LUGNETers: I have an interesting question which may have or may not have been spoken about before. Why hasn't lego created any differently colored heads for representation of different skin colors? The Lego Star Wars line is missing one of (...)
