We’ll match you ‘man for man’ any day in troops… BUT, only in the imaginary world of ABS minifigs, you can keep your Marines and Nuclear bombs to yourself. ;) I know not what CP stands for. But I deduce it’s an acronym pertaining to the conversion rates fiasco? Therefore, I'll endeavor to enlighten you. You THINK you’ll have "30% more troops"…WELL WRONG, Ha! A $1.99 Defense Archer in Canada is a $1.99 Defense Archer in the U.S. http://guide.lugnet.com/set/4811 Don’t fool yourselves; LEGO prices are almost comparable between our countries. Sure, we’ll never see a 50%-75% off Aims Lego sale…But our Zellers 32.5% off isn’t that bad. And alsooooooo, our minimum wage is about $8.00, not the $4.90 or so that you receive. Hence, the advantage goes to Canada in the brutal Lego Wars that plagues our countries. <Insanity off> Honestly, I'd love to come to a Brickfest event or join the Gathering. But the distance is often too great. :( <Insanity on> The march of my 890 fully armed Castle troops in the blisterin’ glair of the June sun would prove to be my undoing. If a neutral position was to be conferred upon I'd rally southwards and smite the rebels of the star spangled banner… Sincerely, --==Richard==-- You can reach me @ Shroud_of_Kung_Fu@Hotmail.com . -Lego good, Canada great-®
