Just an idle thought, but who here would knock over cub scouts and old
ladies with a shopping cart to get to:
6299 A 16-wide white/blue three-center four-gun two/three-mast Spanish
Armada Galleon?
6298 A big Armada base with TWO Imperial Trading Post cutters in blue
and white, docks, cranes, a tavern, and a warehouse?
5060 Soldier accessory packs (six shako hats, three Conquistador
helmets, three each: red, blue, white, yellow epaulets; nine backpacks,
nine muskets, nine sabres (new sword!)
And one of those fig boxes:
6200 Imperial Guard (1 Admiral, 1 Officer, 4 troopers)
6201 Soldiers (same as above except in blue)
6203 Prussians (see http://www.hinet.net.au/~guinan/prussian.jpg)(same assortment)
6205 Armada (same in red with metallic breastplate for Admiral/Officers)
6210 Artillery (Two horses, ammo lighter, cannon on wheels, three crew)
6206 Pirates (Five various Pirates, all with black bandanas and weapons,
one Pirate Wench, NO Captain Redbeards)
(raises both hands)
(and one foot)
