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 (which is a pretty good price) - you can probably
sell off the remaining pieces.
6026 - King Leo - Sell off the wall piece and the horse and you have two figures
for about $2.00 a pop (again - not too shaby). The crown kind of limits the
kings, but if and when you get some helmets (shouldn't be too hard if you are
willing to stick around), the torso and legs will provide an awesome soldier.
From those two sets, I can see myself amassing a rather big army. I think that
an army costs on average $2.00 per figure (include in this mounted Knights,
etc). Minifig pack bring it down, while e-bay pack bring this up.

They always do, so now it's a matter of how soon. Probably after the next line
up comes out. So the question is ... assuming nothing changes - what will be
incuded in that pack? My guess is King Leo on the horse, an archer (normal),
and two Bull Knights. No princess or queen - I think we can agree on that (I'm
secretly hoping I will eat my words here ... )

I will set my guys up and post them later on today.
