Tommy, Chewbacca, the Ewoks, and the new PIG figure (coming in Jabba's
Palace sets) are all non-yellow but this is becuase they are all non-human!
So I do not think you can compare those figs to with the lando issue.
We must remember one thing. LEGO IS A TOY! When lego first introduced the
minifig, LEGO polled kids around the world asking what color the new minfigs
should be. They (the kids) said yellow so I do not see what the problem is.
Oh wait I do, it is us (the adults) that are think of LEGO in "adult terms"
and inserting our politics, race isues, etc. into this lando issue. Kids do
not care if lando is yellow, blue, pink, red etc. To them lando is lando
and they do not care. They will play with a red lando fig, he will sit in
the falcon as they re-enact the destruction of the dath star, Or a big
lando will betray han solo at benspin. You see my point? Let lando be yellow!
Read my original post about this issue that I wrote over 2 years ago.
