| | | Standout has to be set 7139 Ewok Attack. Best value non-figpack figpack in the range. Cool pieces include the stormie and scout, two Stubbies(c), hang-glider wings and half a tree's worth of brown bricks. Ewok head-piece may be the crummiest effort (...)

| | | | | | (...) I hope Billy Dee Williams himself goes down to LEGO and demands they make a minifig of him. And what about LEGO's precious excuse for not including the more minor characters that we'd actually want to see (Wedge Antilles, Mon Mothma, Greedo, (...)

| | | | | | (...) Actually, Harry Potter does have (some) ethnic diversity. Just not in the major characters. If everyone in the movie is white, there's a problem. But I doubt we'll see any minifigs of the non-white characters, unless they release a "Gryffindor (...) (23 years ago, 12-Nov-01, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | | (...) I am quite confused. Why is it that most people think it is okay for 'white' people to be made yellow but not 'black' people? I personally belive either everyone should be proper flesh tones or everyone should be yellow. Why is it okay for a (...) (23 years ago, 13-Nov-01, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | | | (...) I agree. But, take for example… The Simpson’s White people are Yellow. Black people are black. I guess yellow is just taken as an extension of white. A brighter more vivid color for children to respond to. Perhaps white peoples color (Pink, (...) (23 years ago, 13-Nov-01, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | | | | According to Lego Mania Magazine, Dec 2001 issue: "Why are LEGO mini-figures yellow?" "Okay, the truth is that back in 1972 the LEGO Company asked kids what color they thought mini-figures should be and they said yellow." (...) (23 years ago, 13-Nov-01, to lugnet.starwars)

But I think some people would raise a fuss if a 'black' character was released as a yellow minifig, because they don't see things the way (...) (23 years ago, 13-Nov-01, to lugnet.starwars)
