i am not complaining about the minifigures , they are better then what other companies have to offer on the market , i was just saying :
* * * with just a simple replace
- Thorin - - - > - Thorin
- Dain - - - > - Dain
- Azog - - - > - Azog
- Legolas - - - > - Legolas
- Bard - - - > - Bard
- generic orc 1 - - - > - armored elf ( replace of " generic orc 1" )
- generic orc 2 - - - > - armored orc ( replace " generic orc 2 " )
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* armored dwarf ( this could be done in set 79018 , instead of the generic 1980 castle helmet there could be a new dwarf style one )
* men of dale soldier ( included in 79013 )
there it is , u changed 2 non-important minifigures , maybe 2 new molds , and u ended up with an " army builder " , the kids get the heroes , afol's get a set that they can buy 2-3 times and make large armies
and there it is DONE , u ended the hobbit line with a Bang , u have all the heroes , u have all the 5 armies , everybody is pleased , sets will sell , everybody wins
P.S : replace bain with Bolg :) in set ( 79016 )
