Neptune Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Well. I have a Birthday coming up so this is what I plan to buy. 6 x Soldier's Arsenal ($ 4.99) 2 x Cannon Attack ($6.99) After this Purchase I would Have infantry of 6 Soldiers, 2 cannons, and 3 hussars for my British Army. :) Any Comments?

Thee Pirate Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Yeah, you should either buy soldier's arsenal from S@H or buy more Cannon Battle sets instead of paying $5 for an Impulse set, unless you live where they're not available :-/ Quote
Neptune Posted January 20, 2009 Author Posted January 20, 2009 It is available in Canada. So you suggest on the Cannon Battle? I want the impulse set because, you know, I would like to have the backpacks. :D Quote
Thee Pirate Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Okay, nevermind! $5 Canadian isn't that bad. That's how much in USD TRU sells the impulse sets for, but S@H sells them for $3.50 USD. Toys R Us mark up is a female canine when you're buying a lot of sets. I only paid it at first because they weren't available anywhere else. Quote
Neptune Posted January 20, 2009 Author Posted January 20, 2009 Well Canadian dollar fell so the impulse set costs $4.99 at S@H Quote
Captain Zuloo Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 If I were you, I wouldn't do anything too big, but perhaps the Classic-Pirates.com community might press the LEGO® Group for a battle pack of soldiers. But that may or may not happen. Another alternative is to purchase a large army ready made. An idea would be to look at our Build The Grandest Army You Possibly Can Thread which is constantly providing access to soldier auctions. Anyway, good luck with your army, and when it's completed, be sure to let us know! Quote
donneyboy Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Well, I would never buy impulse sets from TRU, well, for one thing they're too much, $4.99 for one. But I have, so do whatever you feel is right. Quote
Erdbeereis Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 I think now the impulses are $6.99 at TRU. The same price they're charging for cannon battle, which makes absolutely no sense. Why would anyone buy it for that price? TRU Website. I'm sticking with cannon battles from Target. Quote
Neptune Posted January 20, 2009 Author Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) Toy r Us is not my only option. I got this local lego store (only lego) which has discounts all year long! I don't really like used lego. Plus ebay has those snipers, I always lose. :( You know, I was thinking about a battle pack, or a simple chess set like the one for Vikings or KKII. A chess set for 50 $ would be great. :) Edited January 20, 2009 by Neptune Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 I just got a lot of old bluecoats for a bargain, so I don't need new minifigs at the moment. But I'm waiting for another ship. Quote
Legoking Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) If you like, I would suggest buying the Soldier's Fort, 6242. This set includes 4 Imperial Guards, a Imperial Fort of course and 2 pirates. I think it would be better if you bought: x2 Cannon battle- $6.99 x2 Impulse- 4.99 x1 Soldiers Fort- $49.99 So you have a total of 8 Imperial Guards, 3 cannons and 4 pirates.

Neptune Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 Thanks lego King! THAT'S GREAT! But I could only spend up to 50 $ sadly. :( But I could buy the soldier fort now and the other sets later maybe. Quote
Legoking Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Thanks lego King! THAT'S GREAT! But I could only spend up to 50 $ sadly. :( But I could buy the soldier fort now and the other sets later maybe. Oh, that stinks. But yeah, I would buy the Soldiers Fort now instead of buying a buch of little sets because you would have a fort to put your soldiers on. As time goes on, you can buy impulse sets and some cannon battle's. I am glad to hear that I helped you! LegoKing Quote
Neptune Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 Yea, that's the exact thing what I was thinking. Thanks again. :) Quote
Tordenskjold Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Hi :) that would be a good start at least i just bought 30 soldiers (the arsenal set) just for a start Cant wait to get the rest of the sets.. for some reason the people in the store gave some strange looks after i got the sets into my car i thougt about me buing lego and if i can feel such happiness as i did when i found the new lego,, then it have to be right for me . Yippieyeeee, Pirates are BÆKK hehe one thing S*** and that is S@H on lego . they wont sell to Norway, and the reason they give is that we are not apart of EU, so people from Canada, USA, Australia and other non EU folks, WHAT are you doing right?? hehe Quote
