> --The truth is that I always thought that there were different ranks of people in the LEGOLAND Space and Futuron LEGO sets. I always thought that the white LEGOLAND Space people were the ensigns or privates and the red LEGOLAND Space people were the corporal and when they get promoted, they wore a red shouldered Futuron uniform indicating them as a sargeant. The blue LEGOLAND people were second lieutenants and when they received their blue shouldered Futuron uniform that they became first lieutenants. The yellow LEGOLAND Space people were captains and when they received their yellow shouldered Futuron logos that they became colonels. The black LEGOLAND Space people were majors and when they received their black shouldered Futuron uniform, depending on which variety, they became either a brigadier or major general. The yellow and black Futuron people and the red and green Futuron people from the LEGO Dacta sets were lieutenant general and general respectively. The first Space Police sets were special forces from Futuron and the green Space Police (Space Police II) people were of a higher rank than the first Space Police (Sace Police I) people. These are merely my opinions and you do not have to take my words as the truth in your lives.
