What does everybody think of Microfig creations? I personally love them because they're so detailed and cost-efficient. With 3,000 assorted pieces, you couldn't build a large ship in Minifig scale, but you could build a whole armada in Microfig (...) (24 years ago, 4-Apr-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) Ha. If you're building models for the popularity and admiration, you're doing it for all the wrong reasons. Ultimately, you will be disappointed. Cheers, - jsproat (24 years ago, 4-Apr-00, to lugnet.space) !
