I'm sure this is off topic, but I couldn't find anything in the FAQ's, and there doesn't seem to be a good place to ask this question. Anyways - how do people take pictures of their creations. What kind of film/camera do people use, etc... I built a (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I have not noticed this problem with mine. In fact I was surprised at how well it balances on the stand in either of the three positions. Ben (remove the spam dot from the yellowcastle to reply) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) It is a double standard because you choose to make it a double standard. I see NO comparison to a 6 foot tall model of thousands of lego bricks, to a mini-fig. In their Duplo line, they chose to make "races", but they have not chosen to do so (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) To me minifigs were always Puerto Rican and they spoke Spanish as a main language. And they were dark skinned or permanently tan or ghostly white since we cover the whole spectrum but still Puerto Rican. Minifigs are what you want them to be. (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) First off, the duplo-figs are different than the minifigs. They are not portrayed as yellow at all, only 'white' or 'black'. OTOH, there aren't any black *mini*figs. True, TLC created one (1! just one!) red minifig, but that was over 20 years (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Gerry and all, Well said, in terms of the race issue. I was making a sarcastic reply to the "black pack" when I referred to the "white pack". I am rather tired of the endless debates in terms of SW, TLG, and race, and that is where this comment came (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.starwars)

I agree on the race issue, however Lego has made some "people" of different ethnicities. There's a "black" duplo guy. I've also seen, on more than one occasion, a "large minifig" built out of regular Lego bricks, by Lego employees, that was "black." (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Scott, please let me introduce you to a secret that I'm fairly sure most lego users are hip to... The "yellow" minifigs are representations of human beings who are lighter in skin color, i.e. white people. EVERY LEGO SET EVER MADE IS A PROVERBIAL (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)
