This whole thing is getting blown way too out of proportion, but it's not just this, it's anything that anyone has a problem with these days. Anything and everything can be found offensive by one person or another. I don't want to seem insensitive here, but it's not like Lego came out with a set that said "Mosque" on the box and marketed it as a "Terrorist Hideout" or something else which might be just as racist. If they did then I could totally understand why people would be offended over that.

As silly as the following might sound it could also go in reverse. What if people told Mosque builders to change the style of buidlings they chose to build because they were offended that they looked too much like Jabba's Palace? Maybe they would feel that they are offending George Lucas in some way shape or form. Maybe the group of people who officially list their nationality or religion as "Jedi" could be offended by that as well. Would that make the builders of Mosques run out and alter their buildings right away to please the masses... I think not. If something was to be pulled off the market every time someone came out and said that it offended them, then there would be nothing left on the shelf. There also wouldn't be any movies in theaters or music on the radio. Just think about what would happen every single thing that someone complained about had to go away.

I'm sorry to hear that people have been offeneded, and that their feelings have been hurt, but there are much more important things in life which could be done with their time like spending it with their kids or something else like that. In a case like this if a person feels offeneded by it then they shouldn't buy it and make it a point not to buy anything else that Lego makes ever again. I guess that they could also boycott the stores which sell Lego products and no longer give those place their business. This way they make their own personal protest by no longer supporting the product, but people who don't feel offended can still decide for themselves.

I hope this dosen't offend anyone because it wasn't meant to.

In any case as far as Lego goes what I heard was that they said that they would stop producing it. They also said that since it was last year's model that the production run would have ended sooner or later in 2013 anyway. I haven't heard anything about them pulling it of the shelves yet anywhere. Lego still has it up for sale on their site. Target and walmart still have it up on their sites, but they are sold out. I was just at a local Target where they still had them on the shelf.
