Well, I think this thread started out wishing for the impossible, so I
put up my impossible wish. I would be happy with another 20 so or each,
but since it is impossible, lets go for the big numbers! :) I always
wanted to build a really huge spaceport with thousands of men working on
everything, ship preps, building, repairing, etc. Having a lot of those
figures would definitely help. Ah, to dream.... :)

Well, I could always make room for those. But I doubt TLC
(TLG,LC,LG,etc.) will ever come back with them. Matt Chiles Vault had
eight of these set, which I bought, just for the minifigs:

I am trying to stay away from purchasing too many LEGO items this year,
but I had to get these.

Hmm... I have a red one, but I don't know what set I got him in. As for
the black, they are available in: 6810 & 6885. Man, I wish I could go
back in time and buy 100 sets of 6703! :(

I bought my 6990 from a neighbor for 50.00 as well.

Amen to that! :)

P.S. I was really bored at work one day, so for some reason I took most
of my minifigs (I know I have more than the pictures, anyway... )
