"togetherness"--is this the Lego Co. answer to the yellow question? I saw a
cartoon logo of the NBA line & that cartoon minifig was yellow. I hope they
are yellow 'cause I like the idea of not separating my minifigs/towns/creations
into 'races' (cultural references like ninja is ok, I'd just rather be able to
use the heads to make any 'person', not a 'Caucasian with a beard', or
'African-American with mustache', etc. Imagine Lego having to reprint a lot of
'standard' faces just to put them on brown plastic--I don't think it's worth
it. I hope they'll come out with Lando! WoooHooo!
