(...) Hey, or maybe it was a misplaced decimal? UCS AT-ST for $99.99, anyone? (I'm not mocking you, by the way, in fact, I say you're most likely right or pretty close to it.) Greg "There was a guy... an underwater guy who controlled the sea... got (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)

You guys are all saying that the new atst is going to suck because it is only $9.99, but a at-st at that price isn't even feasible. Could it be that there was a cut off at the begining of the price? I'm only a kid so I might be like totally wrong (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Right on. I'd suggest they are delving in WAY too much. Suggesting that TLG make different coloured heads to represent "black heroes" in minifig form is imposing foolish Western Hemisphere PC politics upon a company based in a place that is (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) And this is the problem with licensing movies, books, etc. If the main character is to be "acurately" represented, there must be "colored" minifigs.

Blah blah blah. I'm an Asian-American--which means I'm "yellow." So his whole time, Lego minifigs have been Asian-American. Right? Give me a break. Unlike flesh, the ABS plastic used to make Lego is specifically-colored--NOT gradients of other (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)
