Thanks for the additional tips. I have started trying to keep my eye open
for that fig (and a couple of other ones that can be used as generic 18th
century civilians) in ebay auctions. So far the only one I saw it in was
the one you probably saw the other day with about 20 mini-figs and a
starting price of $89. I was not surprised to see that no one bid on that
auction at all. I'll keep my eye out though.
At the risk of attracting the ire of others let me just quickly insert a
commerical message and say that if anyone has that fig and is willing to
sell it they can e-mail me directly. (sorry for that)
Your idea about a Legends Line of Mini-Figs is awesome. It's hard to
imagine that sales for sets of Imperial Soldiers would be anything less than
awesome. I also would be snapping up Islander sets and the Heroes too (the
figs you mentioned for that set are the other ones I've also been trying to
acquire but with much better luck than I've had with Mr. Fancy Shirt).
I guess it doesn't hurt to dream...
