(...) Woo-hoo! Bring on Mace and Lando! Very interestingly, they have two colors here. I'll have to display my basketball ignorance here, but I don't know the players Kukoc and Kidd. Does the tan head indicate an African-American with a lighter (...) (22 years ago, 29-Oct-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.starwars)

(...) Kukoc is caucasian, so it looks like they got around the "yellow" issue by making black and white players with out using yellow. That kind of keeps a balance in the LEGO world. jt (22 years ago, 29-Oct-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.starwars)

(...) Interesting. I have always though that players 'off-court/field' etc. actions don't matter to me. Suddenly they might. I think Jason Kidd is a great ball player,....but the spousal abuse....(and I don't know anything about Bryant or Kukoc). I (...) (22 years ago, 29-Oct-02, to lugnet.general)

(...) What's the source on these? The figs almost look like they're not real, like they're from a video game or something. I'm very pleased that they chose to go with brown and tan, to differentiate these "real life" figs from the uniform yellow (...) (22 years ago, 29-Oct-02, to lugnet.general)

To All, OK, I am really getting confused here, maybe someone can help me. Now we have real NBA players in this LEGO draft. Are they going to be made in minifigs in some kind of sets then? Is this just a hype / Flash webpage thing? If so, it is (...) (22 years ago, 29-Oct-02, to lugnet.general)

James & All, (...) Thanks, James, for the info. So they will have these minifigs in separate sets, kind of like the SW minifig sets then. Are they making these just for the NBA sets, or will they start putting them in other sets, the obvious ones (...) (22 years ago, 29-Oct-02, to lugnet.general)

(...) Based on this bit of info, it's conceivable that the flesh-toned figs may only be available in the 'collectible, real-life player sets', while the regular NBA sets could still have generic yellow figs... J (22 years ago, 29-Oct-02, to lugnet.general)

(...) Don't feel bad about not knowing Toni Kukoc, he was a pretty good role player with the Chicago Bulls during the Jordan era, but has done little else of note since then. He is from Croatia, so naturally he is white. Kobe Bryant is black, (...) (22 years ago, 30-Oct-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.starwars)

(...) It's not like my opinion will mean anything, but I'm against flesh/brown minifigs (I already posted on this issue some time ago). If TLC makes these ONLY for NBA sets, then I won't mind too much, but I really love the yellow minifig. If they (...) (22 years ago, 30-Oct-02, to lugnet.general)

I'm sorry, but they look atrocious. To be fair, I would like to see a complete shot, but as it stands based on those small pics the only thing I can say is that they look like Megabloks. I am not bothered by the different colored head bricks, just (...) (22 years ago, 30-Oct-02, to lugnet.general)
