I actually really like seeing what new and detailed minifigs Lego releases. I'm really exited for the line of collectable figs, and while I'm not a huge fan of Woody I absolutely love Buzz and the alien and the army men (which are classic figs only green) and I'm a bit surprised by the amount of vit...

There's absolutely nothing to dislike about this set, at least the way I see it. I bought 30 or so, and I wish I'd bought more. Better than the orc impulse in that it included a shield. The only thing I don't like about the new castle line is that both impulse sets we've seen so far (while awesome) ...

I've got several. You only want six?

I would be happy if someone would use their sea of minifigs to stage a huge battle. Just once...is that too much to ask? :wink: Seriously, why even take them out of the box if you're just going to stand them in straight lines? I've actually been amassing a large army for just this purpose. I've got...

I can totally understand the frustration of missing parts. There have been several times where I'm convinced something didn't come with the set only to find it later under the couch or some such. Sometimes I've even raided my collection for a replacement before I've found it. Of course, in a set lik...

To those who have missing parts, this set or any other: how many sets on average do you buy? Is it a whole lot? Cause I consider the number I buy to be relatively high yet I don't ever recall having a new set with any missing parts. Maybe I'm just lucky?

What's the biggest army of them anyone has seen?

I like them, but then again I was never one to obsess over the old ones, which I'm sure some of the hardcore see as superior. Have the old style shako prices been impacted at all?

Based on a brief chat with a guy working at the Potomac Mills store (where I happened to snag the last set they had in stock) it seems to be pretty popular. Here's to hoping we'll see more like it in the future.

I might grab a couple at that price, but I've already got four copies from the buy two get third free sale at TRU a while back.

Any sightings of these sets anywhere else?

Denmark? Dunno really, but the DC metro area (where I live) is a pretty good place for AFOLs. Not one but two Lego stores, plus an annual convention, all of which are less than a half hour's drive away.

Chicago also has more than one Lego store if I'm not mistaken.

Just got my two today! Gonna open one right away, and save the second. May put it on bricklink if the prices go up, may just open it later one and use for myself.

Thanks, this is really helpful.

Dale, after seeing your 3000 plus figs at brickfair, I'd like to see pics of the rest of your collection. According to my (very incomplete) set inventory at peeron, I've got a total of 42,293 parts from 81 sets. Of course, a big big part of my collection comes from bricklink orders and PAB buys. Whi...

Not married, but I've got my girlfriend thoroughly hooked. She was really iffy at first but gradually warmed up to the point where she enjoyed brickfair just as much as I did, and I REALLY enjoyed it.
