And, IF they release a Lando, and he's yellow, I'll buy him. I would want brown, but I'd buy yellow. But are you telling me that you would rather have a yellow Lando than one with a brown head? That makes no sense to me. As far as that whole "healthy" thing, I highly doubt that is TLC's reason. Sounds more like your opinion, and now that it's being challenged you're finding it hard to defend. Not that it's wrong. That's not what I'm saying. But, I'd like you to see my side of the issue.

It makes sense to release a red head for an Indian (done in 1977?) and it makes sense to have a yellow head for a caucausian minifig (Luke, Han, etc.) Now, *why* is THIS so hard to grasp? -Chris

(The only reason that's not insulting now is because (...) (25 years ago, 2-May-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) All mini-fig humans are yellow. Billy Dee Williams is human therefore a mini-fig copy of him would be yellow. What is so difficult about this. No one cares that Mark Hammill and Harrison Ford were made yellow. (...) Ah but if you go to my (...) (25 years ago, 1-May-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
