Dude... you've really gotta lighten up. ;^) Christ on a crutch: they're giving away toys. Yes they're so evil. (And, by the way - the page clearly says that this is the original "fource" and "their amazing friends" - thus the 7 characters. The 60's "Batman" only spoofed the comic book conventions of the 50's, it didn't invent them and Lucas doesn't own the word "Force" much less the word "Fource". These guys only vaguely look like Lego Minifigs and, in any case, where designed by a marketing firm that creates custom toys not MS.) I'll bet if Apple did the same thing they'd be so "cute and kitschy" or "irreverent". ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:299717 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
