Hello Bruce,
There is recently a warehouse sale in the Hong Kong Lego distributor.
And following your idea, I've also bought 5 sets of 6706 Frontier Patrols in
order to build up my army!!!! I think this set is really good for enlarging
one's army, 3 mini-figs, 1 horse and also 1 flag! It's really good.
P.S. As I only started to collect Wild West sets in the past 6 months and
6706 was not available in HK any more until I foung it in the warehouse sale.
Jackie
