Not a bad idea, although I'd rather get the McDonalds restaurant. I wonder
what kind of alternate you could get by combining ten Defense Archers? Of
course, it is probably rare shields (like Black Falcons, I have only one of
these) that are worth $1 alone. I also heard that there would be a tiny Res-Q
boat included in the new catalogue. How much does it cost?
