Like we have said at NELUG meetings make the peasant King and the Kings
soldier and the Soldiers peasants. :) Makes for a much more realistic
distribution as long as you don't mind using a pitchfork for a septure and a
sword to shovel hay...
I have actually been noticing this problem in every theme except for Town +
Train. Lots of White Collar very little Blue Collar. For example if you were
to get all the Classic Star Wars Sets you would end up with...
5 Pilots for 3 Ships (Two of which are Luke)
1 Desert Luke (OK)
1 Jugle Luke (OK)
1 Old Obi Wan (OK)
1 Mechanic (More mechanics!!! This poor guy gets worked to the bone. I
actually love this Fig I currently have 6 and need more)
1 Rebel Soldier (Hoth) (How do you wage a rebelion with 1 soldier and what
happens if you have to fight on a desert planet?)
1 Darth Vader (OK)
2 Scout Troopers (More Blue collar Imperials please)
I would love to get some Citizens + Female SW Figs.
I see the same problem in other themes as well. Lots of Kings/Rulers quite a
few Solders but no subjects to rule/oppress.
I guess that citizenry is just not exciting enough for kids in TLG's oppinion.
