TLC lost its moral high ground on not modelling war toys a LONG time
ago.
Otherwise we wouldn't have six shooters and rifles (that are
essentially the same today as they were a hundred years ago) in the
Wild West theme.
Spear = sword = musket = six shooter = rifle = light saber = ...
You can't be a little pregnant and you can't only make "some" war
toys and not others and claim to (or be praised for) only make
nonviolent toys.
Sorry to nitpick - I personally love the weapons and such, but I
have to laugh when I see people say they don't want to see tanks or
M16's but don't mind swords and knives (or rifles).
