Lego has been poor at giving us the masses of common people needed to offset
the special ones. I have 20 Witch figures. 15 Cap'n Redbeards. You can only
mix and match so much. I've taken to buying heads, torsos, and other bits
outside my usual interests to create different figures. Where are those
massive quantities of workers who are going to get slaughtered by Maji,
flesh-eating beatles, locusts, Nazis and gun-happy two-fisted americans? Yes,
I just got The Mummy on DVD. :-)

| (...) Hooray Bruce! You said it! As far as all those extras go I would suggest using them for trade fodder. Someone like me doesn't even have a single witch or Redbeard, though I wish I did, and might be willing to get you something you need. Mark L (25 years ago, 7-Oct-99, to lugnet.adventurers)
