I understand where you're coming from Danny, but I've always found this
response from TLG to be hypocritical to the max. At least half of the
themes that TLG now produces is OVERFLOWING with violence! Okay, so they're
not using modern military weapons, but TLG's own themes like Exo-Force,
Knight's Kingdom, Vikings, Dino Attack, and ALL the Bionicle lines plus the
Star Wars and Harry Potter franchises are solely based on conflict/violence.
To me, it just feels like they're chickening out when it comes to displaying
contemporary weapons, but the promise of conflict/violence is implicit in
every one of the sets from these themes.
So we're not taking down the mutant Dino's with Glocks and .50-caliber
machine guns, but it's pretty darn fine hair that's being split here. The
violence may not be overt, but the covertness couldn't be cut with an
H-bomb.
