I hesitate to bring up a subject which has fueled such long and tedious
threads in the past. However, it should be noticed that lego put a brown

Does this bring Lego a step closer to creating African or African/American
minifigures. I think it does. Maybe next year we will see Lando Calrissian.
Again, for all those people invested in this argument I think this is a

| (...) I'm just annoyed that we didn't get a classic smiley for the stormtrooper head. Why bother with plain yellow? As to the helmets, the only diff ('sides the hoses & color) is that the TIE pilot has an additional helmet over the top of the (...) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)

| Doubt it. They've been making brown minifig heads for AGES, they just haven't released them to the public. Just look over the models in LLC or other Legolands. (...) -- Tom Stangl ***(URL) Visual FAQ home ***(URL) Bay Area DSMs (24 years ago, 30-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)
