Hello Everyone,

Out of curiosity i spoke with LEGO customer support to ask why basic Yellow legs
970c00 are not available on Pick a Brick. I was told that this was a licensed
part and will not be available outside of part replacement for damaged/missing
parts.

Anyone happen to know any more information on this. Based on the recent sets,
its Minecraft theme with 662302, 21189 and 21174. But there is also 40516.

Seems like such an basic item compared the Star Wars printed pieces for example.

Many thanks!!

As far as I heard...
Yellow is the minifigure skin colour. Yellow 970c00 would be nudity.

Same could be said about other Legs colours in skin tones such as Nougat, Medium

Besides yellow legs are already used for good purpose on yellow spaceman and
yellow "everything is awesome" guy so it is strange that its not readily
available?

yeah exactly! that's why it's so strange if nudity was the actual reason.

The plastic minifigure probably wouldn't care. Humans would definitely perish.

I think that was the case for years after the original yellow legs characters
were gone, then along came Kenny.

I think you just got a thoughtless canned answer.

I totally agree. Someone overheard the We-can't-because-it's-licensed
excuse from another call center employee, and they use it whenever they don't
know the real answer.

Just be prepared to have a confused person on the other end of the line. If
someone gives a bogus answer because they don't know the real answer, asking
them again might result in even weirder answers.

Althought the agent took some time to investigate and come back with an answer.
It does comes across as an easy generic answer to give. Will ask again next engagement
with support and see if I get a different answer.
