I just want to say this:
When I saw the comic by Greg Hyland (sp?) on
http://www.fbtb.net/greg/gregindex.asp I saw Lando. My non-discriminatory
imagination saw Lando. Lego is an imaginitive toy - imagine whatever you
want and it will come true. Lego is right to have a one color minifig - it
allows us to imagine. Lego: A one race world where there is no hate because
of the way we look or Lego: A multiple race world where there is no hate
because of the way we look.
For those of you who are stubborn: TLG gave us a blank brown head in the
7146 for a reason... if you want a brown minifig, make one yourself.
Sick of this coming up again...
