And "ivory" figures are here. And so are standard issue clone-yellow in the
basketball, too. I've mentioned it before, but the attempts at more
realistic skin tones seem to be limited to real people (actors portraying
fictional characters so far are yellow).

Or the squeeky wheel gets greased? :-)
But don't stop bugging Lego for a Mace and Lando! At the same time, if they
make 'em brown, they are gonna hear it for making the others in the Star
Wars line yellow. It's a no-win scenario and I expect Lego to cowardly not
make those two unless enough people scream (and then the screams will simply
change no matter what decision they make).

I wouldn't count on WNBA figs from Lego.
