Alright, I really don't care how rare something truly is, just how difficult a
figure is to get (in time or money, since time = money).  I'm trying to build
up figures for gaming.

In Pirates, for example, Blue-Coated Soldiers with Shako (the tall, • cylindrical
hat) are the toughest followed by the Red-Coated Soldiers, even though there
are a fair amount.  In dollar amounts, $3.50-$5.00 - not that I ever pay that
much.

Fright Knights were easy, as are Ninja/Samurai.  But the relative value of
Royal Knights, Wolfpack, Black Knights, Forestmen, etc., I really don't know
beyond the expectation that the older it is the more likely it is going to
cost.

Just off-the-cuff, I would say that the old lion crest, axe crest, 'breast
plate' and Black Falcon crest torsos will be hardest to build up significant
numbers of.

After that, probably the various dragon crest and forestmen torsos, then the
scale-mail torsos, new lion crest, and dark forest.

Weird ones that I'm not sure about (Except that they're probably hard to get a
hold of in quantity) are Majisto's torso, the scale-mail torso with blue
backing (instead of red - way more common), and wolfpack guys.

YMMV
