Clones! ACK! There are only a FEW clone pieces which I'll use - M-16 Assault
Rifles. (Lego sized.) They are extremely hard to come by, though... I'll have
to go to a Toys-R-Us and see if I can find some. (They'd ROCK for a SEAL team.)
Jeff Christner (I think that is his name) has a few.

easy to do.)
