Yep. Another precursor to perhaps some better future
minifigures. (I've always thoughts a lot of diversity
as in color was needed in the minifigure department,
so perhaps next year those changes will grow appraent
with the new wave of sets. Hopefully, anyway.)

I can't see why anyone *would* protest against it,
but to each his own, I guess.

I could really use some ebony figures for my online
novella. (one of the characters, Scorpio, is Arabic,
so It would be difficult to portray him without the
proper tones.) I was kind of disappointed to get
a Lobot with the cloud car instead of a Lando. (why
not both?)

Maybe that will happen soon? I mean, didn't they
do women's soccer sets? Judging by the market
gap there, something like this would be bound
to happen. (given TLC would be open to a project
of that magnitude.)

Oh yes. Humorous ranting is always fun to
read. One of the many reasons why I dig lugnet.
