We are going to have to be careful of having short Lego people, because that
will only lead to the inevitable Lego Dwarf Tossing®. Also to we are going
to require new signs saying "You must be this tall to ride" for our
vehicles. Then they will want Lego ponies, smaller lego bicycles, Lego
mini-bikes, etc... Let's be reasonable folks, short lego people will change
that culture of all Lego Lands and Universes. And I do not know if we are
prepared for the consequences.
