Heehee... I checked the stats for castle and space (being the largest 'new'
groups so far), and their rate of messages per hour didn't even match up to • the
Star Wars group overall.... As I recall, they beat out the trains group, • though
(in terms of mesgs/hour)... I forget the exact numbers... Actually I was kind
of suprised that castle got such a turnout, since the theme has been
temporarily discontinued... (alright, not REALLY discontinued because of • ninja,
but hey...)

I think we have our work cut out for us  if we want to pass almost any of the
groups ahead of us now.


My post today concerns making Egyptian workers for my Egypt sets.  I have so
far received suggestions of putting pirate scarf-hats on minifigs along with
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan torsos to create that desert inhabitant look.  These are
good ideas for sure, but I was wanting to see if the creative juices of you
guys could supply more ideas.  Those listed can give me about 10 to 15 • workers
but I want about 50 or so.  Help me out if you can.

I know I posted earlier that ninja masks would work well, but unfortunately,
there aren't any tan ones yet (or brown would work well)... But the white • ninja
mask might work well with the Desert luke's torso from the Landspeeder set...

The white ninja came with what sets?  I need like 100 of them, YIKES!!!


Otherwise, I suppose black, dark grey, and red would WORK, you just need to
find good torsos... perhaps the black ninja mask w/ Darth Maul's torso... I
don't know about other ones... If you could find plain red and dark grey • torsos
they'd work well, but there aren't too many floating around that I know of...

I think you are right- black, grey and red are all viable color schemes, and
probably alot more common to find.  Now if I could find some fez type hats.
Do you know of any in existence? Any reasonable facsimiles if not? LMK

(...) Unfortunately, the only one that comes with a white ninja is 3053... and that sells for about 40 bucks; not to mention that it only comes with *1* white ninja... but it's still kinda cool... the set also gives a nice bit of tan, too... DaveE (25 years ago, 14-Oct-99, to lugnet.adventurers)
