Jabba the Hutt set, Turks upset

The lego the Jabba the hut set is under siege by the turks.

       The Turks have found that the Lego Star Wars set; Jabba the Hutt's Palace  looks a lot like Istanbul's Hagia Sophia monument, a scared place of worship for them.

Though lego replies that the set Jabba's Palace is made after Jabba the Hutt's lair in Star Wars, A Turkish group says it looks way to close, even mocking to the structure of the Hagia Sophia.

       Lego still has not withdrawn the set from stores yet, but they may soon. In this situation the people usually win.  For those type of people who like the Star Wars line of lego may want to buy it soon for this product may soon become extinct.

       The main problem that the Turks have with this lego product is that the "smoking villain Jabba" and multiple weapons are located within this set. Also the fact that you can simulate a fight in it is an issue with the turks. Other sources claim that the villain Jabba the Hutt perpetuates racism and prejudice towards muslim children who play with Legos.

This is a detailed comparison of the mosque and Jabba the Hutt's Palace that the Turks put together to protest the Lego set

James' Train

James who has Asperger's syndrom at eight years old badly wanted The Emerald Night Train from lego. When his parent's found out it was $100 and for kids ages 11 and up they decided he could get the set if he saved up his own money. After two years, James had finally saved up enough money to purchase the set. He looked for it, and was devastated to find out that lego had stopped producing the product. He and his parents looked online, but the only ones they could find were $200. James' parents feared that the sets might be missing pieces, but were determined to get him the set, even if they had to buy it piece by piece. Meanwhile, James wrote a letter to lego explaining his situation. At first, all he received was an apology letter, this was hard for James to take in. Right before James' birthday a package, addressed to him, arrived in the mail. It was The Emerald Night Train.
