This comes partially in reply to the thread of "dear mr. lucas" postings, and partially as a continuation of an opinion that I will continue to represent to the lugnet community and to TLG. Now that lego can make the faces of the minifigs with any (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

I would like to ask everyone a question. When was the last time you saw a yellow human being? I have seen some WHITE white people, and some very dark black people (yes black, because everyone who is black is not African American), but I have never (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Even so, they could have upped the piece count or lowered the price--perhaps by putting it in a compact, inexpensive box rather than a big, pricey, mostly empty bucket--and sold more sets. If it were a toss-up between a $80 "full" set or a $25 (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I was talking as an AFOL here. I was so glad when I started to earn my own money and I could buy sets, instead of watching all those nice 70th and 80th castle-, space- and trainsets go by. How I craved for those sets! My dark age had pure (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

If they've been able to avoid with the number of sets from all four films up to this point without including an African-American or otherwise ethnic minifig and still have the enormous success these sets have had, I don't see them taking any risks (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Just noticed they use the Kaadu reigns for roll bar protection in the new 6519 Turbo Tiger set. Now if they can just find a use for the Kaadu themselves. Maybe it would pass for a Duck Billed Dino for the Adventurers. Jason F. (24 years ago, 5-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) My guess is if these sell well, Lego will do away with the 5 figure sets in favor of three figure sets. $4.99/3 - $6.75/5 = $1.66 - $1.35 = $0.31 more profit per box. Of course, they also include the bases which might drive the profit down a (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)
