(...) I know this topic has been debated waaay too many times, but since Lego started representing real-life people (Starwars, etc) this problem was bound to come up. Personally I think it's too much of a stretch representing a black person with (...) (22 years ago, 28-Sep-02, to lugnet.general)

I think that TLC is very, very afraid that things might get out of hands once they do such a thing. A few jears ago a Polish artist created -as a work of art- a line of sets of wich you could build the components of a concentration camp. This (...) (22 years ago, 28-Sep-02, to lugnet.general)

I just read this whole thread so far (although didn't read the previous threads on the subject). This is a tough one. I can see valid arguements on both sides.

(...) I agree Micheal! What if Lego decides to make specific, individual player figs for the upcoming NBA line? (Unlikely...) Do you think that "yellow" would fly for Michael Jordan? Hardly! What about A Lego Golf line? (That'd be cool!) Would a (...) (22 years ago, 30-Sep-02, to lugnet.general)
