Lenny Hoffman brought up an interesting observation back in February, which is that outside of LEGO, sometimes the color yellow is indeed intended to signify caucasian skin tones. His example was the TV show The Simpsons. Light skinned chracters (...) (22 years ago, 6-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Looks fantastic! Isn't that the Scimitar(sp?)Assault Bomber? Honestly, though, the thing I'm most jealous about when it comes to your LEGO customs is your stock of black landing plates! Wasn't there only one Blacktron set they came with? I've got (...) (22 years ago, 5-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars)
