Interesting. Of course I'd qualify the Alpha Team theme as a whole as
"Toys that promote Heroism". The comic in 6776 shows the "heros"
prevailing. Perhaps the set would have been more acceptable with a
couple Alpha Team minifigs and a small vehicle or so (this set actually
seems to be a departure from TLC's normal makeup of the largest set in a
theme, just about every one I can recall has included minifigs from both
"sides" of whatever conflict the theme presents).
