| | | | | 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)

Why does TLC make minifigs of every major star wars figure, and many (...) (22 years ago, 31-May-02, to lugnet.sports)

Second - as many colors as Lego currently has, I don't think it would (...) (22 years ago, 4-Jun-02, to lugnet.sports, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Well, to be fair, right here: (URL) (Spanish, Portuguese) (URL) (Brazilian, Mexican, Argentinian) Even if they don't have a 'fig with Pele's number (which I don't recall off the top of my head), it's clear that these are not predominantly (...)
