After building massive Castles, I always feel the need to have a full battle.
My problem is that I only have 30 men with which to wage war. I am seeking a
cost effective way to acquire 100 plus men. I like the new castle men, as well
as the older ones. The ninjas abhor me.
I have looked on ebay and they sell lots of 10 for up to $35. That is more
than I care to pay. I don't think it is right to have to pay over three
dollars for one small soldier. Will Lego sell a set of people with the new
castle series? I have heard many hope, but has any insider confirmed it.
My questions are as follows.
(1)What should a typical lego maniac be willing to pay to raise an army?
(2)Where does one go about buying these men, besides auctions. (I just want to
have a set price and buy.)
(3)Does anybody have a picture of a large army, 100 or more men in formation,
that I can look at? I have not seen a close up like that on any web pages.
Just a handful of men hiding on castle walls.
(4)In the 13th century Eurpeon wars, how many men made up a army?
Thanks for your replies.

| (...) Of my usual monthly Lego expenses, I'd say about 10-20% goes towards my "army" (and/or Pirate crews). (...) Start trolling Toys-R-Us, _immediately_, and pick up the Fright Force mini-fig packs that all the local TRUs here in Atlanta have had (...) (25 years ago, 31-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) Because you like the new castle, you are in luck - without the a "figures" pack, it still rocks for getting soldiers. Here is why: 4811 - the Defense Archer (whenever he comes out) - you get one full minifig with a shield for around $1.99 (...) (25 years ago, 31-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)

| Thanks for the ideas. I think the large army pics were awesome. I will post one of my own once I put into practice these new ways to muster an army. (25 years ago, 2-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)
