Although I do not believe the civl war is a good war to choose, I dont want
to give up a war theme either. I believe that if lego was to make a war theme
they should make a fictional war, because no matter which war they choose,
every war has feelings attached to them. No matter if it was blacks during the
civil war, or the British during the Revolutionary war.
Just like every other lego theme TLC should base everything on fiction
not on anything real. Sure some themes have been real, like pirates, but there
was never a "Captain Red Beard" or a Governor Broadside". So I think that you
can have a war but just dont make specific characters or specific wars. That
can do nothing but cause trouble.
