I just hope a Castle 2000 mini-pack doesn't come out now. Then I'll be really
annoyed - I just bought a 6091, *mainly* for the minifigs. Of course, I wanted
the other stuff, but that was the major part there.
Just kidding! I'd love to get some minifig packs! Especially star wars, then I
can make peasants without the need of buying a big set!
I say, sell individual characters at a dollar apiece through LS@H, maybe even
a 1.50 for rarer/more wanted minifigs. It prolly costs less to manufacture
them, TLC will earn money from the massive armies of AFOLs, while we will
benefit from the cheapness and the wonders of technology! It's a Win-win
situation!
<pinch> Ow. Back to reality.
