Then explain the Rock Raiders fig pack. I for one never intend to buy any Rock
Raider set unless it is at a steep discount but I will probably get at least
100 of those fig packs. (Space Marines, Pilots, and Engineers; Town
Construction Workers; and Wild West Confederate Troops; what Space/Town/Wild
