     Yup, yer right.  I definitely missed the discussion on the subject when
these sets first appeared.  Its been a while since I've had some extra cash
to grab some Legos with, as it has also been some time since I could devote
my mental energies to pondering all subjects Lego.  If you've got the time,
give me #'s of the postings and I'll bring myself up to date on the issue
when I can.
     I have to say, though, that I agree with you.  Every town needs a
Shaft(What about a Jack of Spades from "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka!"?).  I also
agree that this is Lego's way of testing the waters on the subject.  I hope
that it's being greeted with a positive response.  I, for one, must commend
TLC on being so enacting such measures so quickly.  It seems to me that they
might have had the Tie Pilot minifigs slated to have the same black
headpieces that the Imperial Guards have in the Imperial Shuttle set, but
figured that it'd be relatively easy to slip the new brown heads into this
set, and just went for it!  Hooray!!!  And extra kudos to LUGNET in general.
I daresay that this might not have been implemented had we no forum such as
this to rant and conversate within as TLC stands back and listens (or reads,
however the case may be).

(...) You must have missed this discussion way back when the TIEs hit the shelves. Personally, I think that the TIE Pilot heads might well be TLC's way of testing the waters... if no one complains about the tone of brown, or something, they might (...)
