Well...if there's another 3052 around for $20 I'd be interested :) [perhaps
arriving by pirate-post with the welshishish contingent in June.]
Also, I'd be interested in the odd Johny thunder [or however many seem to be
around] along with baron von barons, the fig from 5901/5902 (total wanted is
5), and minifigs [or at least the hats] from the flash speeders. Rifles are
also useful...although the Brik-toria barracks weapons procurement
department has been making great armament choices...lets hope the ammunition
is of a better quality than last battle, though.[1]
Benjamin Whytcross
[1] The officer responsible for ammunition procurement was last seen heading
towards a welshishish engineer, carrying a flamethrower, and believed to be
happily exclaiming "Luckily there's no way this plan could work with this
batch of ammunition."
