Once upon a time it was evident that Lego was not a war toy, back when
the castle and space themes were young, but it seems that with each new theme,
or introduction of a sub theme Lego is just beggin' the kids to play war with
their Legos. Space Police v. Blacktron, Forrestmen v. Knights, Aquanauts v.
Aqua raiders, Cowboys v. Indians, Rebellion v. Empire. Honestly, these days
TLC would have to spin a yarn 10 miles long to debate that they aren't a war
toy. I agree that their main purpose is construction oriented play, but to
market legos in the 21st century, they've definately taken a more agressive
perspective in designing their sets.
p.s., glad to hear that you liked my ideas for your western display, I hope
they work out.
