Not trying to pick an argument, but 10 male peasant designs? Really? I
think that may be a bit much. There's got to be close to at least a dozen
'peasant-type' torso designs currently in the Star Wars line, and with 2
more movies, and dozens more sets, to come, I think most of our peasant
needs should be satisfied. I also expect that the Harry Potter series
should be provide bountiful peasantry/robes torsos. Peasant only wore so
many types of outfits, correct? They were peasants, after all.
For my $.02, let's get as many designs as possible that would be unique to
castle, such as armor & heraldry on one sheet, with no more than 4 or 5 of a
type. Army builders can then order more sheets.
