Hiya'll,

Well. Now that I've gotten my first few BFs, I'm trying to figure out what to
do with them. ATM I only have three, not a whole lot. The number seemed to
suggest itself to some form of elite squad (which the Falcons always seem
like, to me), bodyguards, or some majickal group... or all of them combined in
one... <grin - I'm not telling ;-)>

But I'm wondering. Are there people out there who've managed to amass an
actual *army* of BFs, enuff to justify a kingdom?... it seems like there are
so few of them out there, but surely there are people who've managed (through
much trading and acquiring, perhaps?) to get a lot of them.

Or... maybe not? I know some people only have one or two of them, and use them
for special individuals...

So. What do *you* do with your BF(s)?... If you have a lot, what do they
represent?... If a little - how do you use them, fit them in somehow?

-Shiri

(...) Between auctions and retail over the years I've managed a decent pile. Not sure of the exact count but it's two or three dozen. Enough though for the personal troops of some baron or lord. The 'Black Falcons' as a group always suggested to me (...) (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I have about 40 B.F.'s- They were "it" when I first started buying Lego on my own, and thus they were, from Oct 1991 until April 2000, the dominant army and "overlords" to the various factions. When I got a sea serpent in 10/90, they finally (...) (24 years ago, 1-Sep-00, to lugnet.castle)
