    Re: Why can't we have a Lando: Lego's Race policy —Bryan A. Hodges
   (...) At Lego's Imagination Center at the Mall of America in Twin Cities MN, there are many large "minifigs" made out of regular lego bricks. Several of them are African American. I have pictures, I just need to scan them. I find it interesting that (...) (25 years ago, 29-Apr-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

I say that's bantha fodder. Give consumers what they want. -Chris (25 years ago, 29-Apr-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

       (...) They have had AFAIK, unpainted heads in lots of colors, but the only color other than yellow I know of with a pattern on it was the robot head. (25 years ago, 30-Apr-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: Why can't we have a Lando: Lego's Race policy —Nathan McDowell
      (...) They've made white (Gasgano), black (Darth Maul), red (UFO), blue (UFO also), and grey (Insectoids and Darth Vader) minifig heads. For 'regular' people, they've always used yellow, but for the others, anything goes... except brown... ~Nathan (25 years ago, 30-Apr-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

        (...) Dont forget white (skelleton) Yep. TLG has never made minifig heads in brown, for any purpose. Bummer! Mabie we can convince lego direct to run off a batch of assorted brown heads??? (25 years ago, 30-Apr-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

         Re: Why can't we have a Lando: Lego's Race policy —David Low
     (...) Maxifigs apparently pre-date the "everyone is yellow" rule -- the Red Indians are literally Red. It's pretty funny, in a non-PC way. I'm a big fan of making minifigs as generic as possible (yay for smileys!). Give them character with their (...)

        Re: Why can't we have a Lando: Lego's Race policy —Matthew Miller
   (...) I'd like to see this too. They could make it so that there's a random selection of colors all across the spectrum of human skin colors. Then, the minifigs in each set would be randomized -- no way of telling what color you'd get until you (...) (25 years ago, 30-Apr-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)
