(...) I read somewhere here that Lego only does yellow heads to stay away from race issues. Is this actually true? Has anyone confirmed this with Lego? Earlier I had just took the yellow head thing for gospel when I read it. Honestly I don't see (...) (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.western)

(...) Hmmm, I wonder if (to get this back "on topic" for .starwars) if TLG can't acquire a license to "F Troop"...or maybe to "Glory" (but then they'd have to handle race in minifigs, wouldn't they?).

(...) I'm confused. There's all this talk about how Lego won't do a Civil war theme, because it's American and Lego is European. The thing is, the whole western theme is American, in the first place.
