How about making more cheap sets _without_ minifigs? 2886 and
2883 and 2880 are good examples that already exist,
although I can't find 2883 or 2880 anywhere. I bought the
Castle polybag last night and didn't like it. There were seven
pieces that weren't part of the minifig or his accessories. If the minifig was
not included, there could have been a better model. I really like the figure,
but I know he's in other sets. I don't think LEGO is about minifigs, I think
its about building stuff. Let people supply their own minifigs for the cheap
sets. (Maybe if minifigs only came with buildings and not vehicles, there would
be less homeless people in LEGOland?)
