Ahh...ok. Thanks for the update.

Even though I understand this was a joke, I have to say it....

The main thing to remember about things like Creator and Jack Stone: They
are for a younger audience!! An audience who may not have the motor skills
to handle a small figure like the minifig. Or might have safety issues with
something so small!

OK, thanks, I feel better! :)

Silly unfounded speculation on behalf of the release of the Creator fig.
Rereading threads this week shows me (sorry, my HTTP is down now for some dumb
reason, no URLs to post) that in the Creator Scourge thread jokes were made
about minifigs raising up armies against them or else they'd be defeated.  It
went from there...and I cringed whenever I saw it appear in a post, because the
rumor looked to me like it came from a harmless joke.  Nevertheless...when
reacting to the Creator figs (for the first time) I said 'long live the minifig'
in a joking manner.

*long sigh*

All the more reason to keep the communication lines open, and for us on the AFOL
side to take a big chill pill.  I meant no harm by the minifig comment, but now
see that such an emotional outburst may have been damaging.  I'm sorry.

So anyways...
