Well like some of the others have mentioned I don't really care about the sets.
I don't think I have a single 2000 set still built. I do build all Star Wars
and Castle sets at least once before I dismantal them and sort them in my parts
bins.
I agree with you about the Minifigs in terms of quantity only. I actually love
the figs themselve I just wish TLC would include more in the sets as they are
about the only thing I use from the sets as it was ment to be used, everything
else just gets reused in my MOC's.
Like Shiri I really like the princes although I would have to think about the
"best fig ever" part. Having a female knight in armor is very cool. I also
like the kettle helm guy's a lot but I wish the brown mustache appeared more.
Plus IMO having a set like <set:4811> is a hugh bonus for building an army.
I probably won't buy another <set:6091> though unless I get it at a deap
discount. There are better places to find parts for sure. I would love to get
another princes though.
