A big "me too"!!! I have argued almost the exact opposite of Bradley's post in the past. The only way I could agree with Bradley's sentiment is if TLC packaged stuff separately -- that is different packages for the structures, vehicles, minis. That way everyone could get what they wanted and hopefully in the numbers that seem sensible to them. Today I bought a Droid Escape set. To me these C3-PO and R2-D2 minifigures are useless, but I like some of the elements in the rest of the set. If they packaged these items separately and individually, then those wanting the vehicle could score however many of those that they wanted, and the people collecting the minis wouldn't have to buy the vehicle part and get however many they wanted of just the minifigures. I would buy whole armies worth of red and blue shako hat Pirate theme Imperial soldiers though. So by no means can I agree that Lego is not about the little minis too! With some minifigures designs I just want as many as I can get. For that matter, I might buy whole armies worth of some of the more generic SW figures -- just not the particular two minifigures found in the Droid Escape! I mean, how many C3-POs and R2-D2s am I really supposed to need or want? When the minifigures are that identified with a particular narrative they are just NOT that useful to me. Think open-ended narrative, generic characters, TLC. And please, just dump these licensed characters! -- Hop-Frog

(...) I don't think that will happen. LEGO's usual design for polybags is 1 minifig and a small cart/backdrop/vehicle to go with him. I'm more concerned with getting more polybags out there than changing the way they make them. Especially since they (...) (23 years ago, 12-Mar-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Gack no please don't listen to this suggestion... The cheap polybag sets are useful for those who want to build up decent numbers of minifigs. Frank (23 years ago, 12-Mar-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
