  Re: Lego and the NBA
 
(...) The "Yellow is neutral" line of argument is a total farce. Minifigs with yellow heads look like white, European people. It is as obvious as the nose in front of your face. Why does TLC make minifigs of every major star wars figure, and many (...) (22 years ago, 31-May-02, to lugnet.sports)

  Re: Lego and the NBA
 
I say keep all the minifigs yellow. Don't get into color. As soon as you do then you will not have enough shades. The shade they use will not be dark enough or light enough. Also most ethnicities are not color but facial features as well. Do you (...) (22 years ago, 31-May-02, to lugnet.sports)
