| | | Is it the minifigs people want from long ago or is it just the better set quality? Would poeple buy a 6080 or a 6073 or a 6090 with knights kingdom figs? -- Jonathan Wilson wilsonj@xoommail.com (URL) (25 years ago, 20-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

|
| | | | | (...) Well... like Jeff, I'd vote for both. (...) A 6090, no. (I love the RK figs). The others... maybe, and maybe not - but that's simply because I already have all the KK figs and although they are really cool, they don't offer much variety. If I (...)

I mean, it'll look weird if a random peasant meets Scar, and then just *happens* (...) (25 years ago, 21-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

Personally, I see little point with the "grunt" minifigs. ;) They generally won't figure prominantly in a story, and in fact, they should probably all be wearing redshirts, considering what will happen to most of them in a lot of our (...)

Heads that are way too specific are good for me, so long as I don't have multiples of them. eg Storms' faces (both Princess *and* Gail :) (...) Cool! (...) Second... after what? (375?) (...) (...)

| | | | | | (...) Grunt is slang for a group of people. They do manual labour, are easy to train. They are usually soldiers. They are an unlimitless resource, and make up the base of any army. They are the mighty FOOTMAN!! <<KM>> (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

The figs are the actors in my little plays and the sets give me parts for the props and stage. I can't imagine collecting all of the sets. My wife (...) (25 years ago, 21-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

| | | | | (...) Well, I personally want good sets and consistency. Idealy, Lego would stick with around 4 teams, and each year they'd come out with a $15.00 set for three of the teams, and the fourth team would have the rest of the price range. Each year it (...)

| | | | (...) I'm gonna have to agree with what a lot of people have said so far-- As Eric K. said, I love MOC's more than any set. Set "quality" in terms of playiblility and looks doesn't mean too much for me. For me, set quality is piece variety. As for I (...) (25 years ago, 21-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)
