  Re: Lando minifig picutre HERE
 
(...) You assume incorrectly about what you think are my assumptions. "...what primary color would work best a "flesh" tone." I covered that. Nor did I say that there was any overt racial motivation. What I do believe is that Lego didn't think (...) (21 years ago, 11-Aug-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: Lando minifig picutre HERE
 
(...) Well, that's true IF you believe that Lego's race card is played across all lines and all themes. From what I remember, they've always been adamant about the race card only pertaining to minifigs and only fictional ones at that. Personally, I (...)

  Re: Brickfest 2003 Question and Answer
 
(...) Possibly. I've seen a lot of polls on FBTB that this appears to be the answer to, though. (...) My understanding is that LEGO Direct offers sets that fall within a certain range of expected sales. Enough to be worth doing, but not enough to (...)

  Re: 10123 Cloud City
 
(...) Yeah, well, even with rapid-prototyping (which we know they're using), new mold designs aren't cheap. S@H exclusives have a much more limited consumer base than retail releases, and anything that sells well enough through S@H to justify making (...) (21 years ago, 11-Aug-03, to lugnet.starwars)
 
  Re: Lando minifig picutre HERE
 
(...) Actually, I remember hearing that they did polls to see what the public thought would be more appropriate. The public chose "yellow" (or at least "pre-existing brick color") over "flesh-tones". I'll grant you that at the time they probably (...) (21 years ago, 11-Aug-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Lando minifig picutre HERE
 
(...) I'm really beginning to wish they had as well. I wouldn't be surprised if _they_ are wishing they'd done this. And if they aren't yet, they probably will be in a year or two, especially if that set ever hits retail store shelves. (...) That (...) (21 years ago, 11-Aug-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Lando minifig picutre HERE
 
(...) Thanks for stepping forward to take the slings and arrows. I have witnessed, as everyone else here has, Lego listening to us. We asked for a small stormtrooper pack, releasing old sets, new colors, new train cars and engines, discounts on bulk (...) (21 years ago, 11-Aug-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)  
 
  Re: Lando minifig picutre HERE
 
(...) However, we do have the clear example of (URL) set 215> as skin colour differentiating 'race'; and this set dates back to 1977 - not too long after yellow skin was established.

  Re: Lando minifig picutre HERE
 
(...) I disagree with your assumptions. When LEGO first made any attempt at Lego "people", they had very few colors to choose from. Yellow was probably the best looking one available at the time. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I just don't believe there was (...) (21 years ago, 11-Aug-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Lando minifig picutre HERE
 
(...) It's important to understand that the "race-card" was played a long time ago. A bunch of pale danes sat around a room and decided what primary color would work best as a "flesh" tone. They looked at each other and the choice was ethno-centric. (...) (21 years ago, 11-Aug-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)
