I have got 18 of these figs; 12 of which I have had since I opened the
boxes about 1983 or so. I thought 18 was a lot. Guess I was wrong.
My grand total of all Castle figs must be over 1,000 but I have never
counted and I haven't lined them up on baseplates in years.
It seems to me that a lot of people who have posted on this thread take time
to
'play' with their minifigs. I do not. I build castle structures and use the
minifigs and all their weapons and accessories to make the structures look
realistic and lived-in [sic]. Really, just an after-thought for me.
I would rather build with bricks than play with minifigs; I am not into
role-playing and such like that either, so IOM does not appeal to me.
Don't jump on me for this, I am just more of a builder than anything else.
But thanks, Brett, for making me think that 18 Knights Procession figs is a
small amount. Now I will have to be on the lookout for more--along with more
figs from 383/6083 Knights Tournament (only have 1 set of those).

| (...) I don't know why anyone would give you a hard time about it. I use the figures for gaming - I just don't have the time to paint miniatures anymore - and my 10 year old also plays with them. But that's me. I also build - but I wouldn't need (...) (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.castle)
