Prince of Persia sets! YES!! Hadn't thought of them... will have to look at whats available there.

Thanks for all your thoughts and input everyone! I'll keep you posted with how it goes.... I've been out of the loop for the last week., Love the idea of Belgian Waffles! And Mermaid for Denmark is good - although I'll admit I was a bit disappointed with the reality of the Little Mermaid statue.

I love the Aussie one!! (And I'm an arachnophobic Aussie too!) Belgian waffle idea is brilliant

Thanks! I already have some of these... was looking for some of the less obvious places. Here's what I have so far: 1) Australia - Surfer Guy 2) Indonesia - Island Warrior 3) Greece - Spartan 4) Japan - Samurai 5) USA - Liberty 6) Canada - Lumberjack OR Hockey Player (undecided yet) 7) NZ - Mountain Climber 8) Bulgaria - Gypsy Forutne Teller 9) Spain - Flamenco Dancer (is there a bullfighter figure?) 10) Italy - Roman Centurion (wish there was an Ancient Rome theme - that would totally ROCK!) 11) Austria - Skier 12) Sweden - Viking 13) Germany - Lederhosen Guy 14) France - Mime (why? Why was it the Mime that first comes to mind for France??) 15) UK - Royal Guard 16) Ireland - Leprechaun So, 16 out of 41. Here's what I don't have! 17) Belgium 18) Netherlands 19) Denmark - mean c'mon! This one should be easy!! 20) Poland 21) Hungary 22) Luxembourg 23) Liechtenstein 24) Slovakia 25) Serbia 26) Croatia 27) Bosnia & Herzegovina 28) Albania 29) Montenegro 30) Turkey 31) Iceland 32) Malaysia 33) Singapore 34) Czech Republic 35) Switzerland 36) United Arab Emirates 37) South Korea 38) Monaco 39) Vatican 40) Slovenia 41) San Marino I'm thinking I could also 'make up' figures from various parts. Perhaps for example an 1980's Red Cross torso for the Swiss guy, or something like a F1 Race driver for San Marino... Totally lost for the others though! Its only going to get harder as i move on from Europe...

Hello friends! This is my first post - and its sort of a 'help needed' one. I'm a long term traveller - been on the road now for 5 years - and over that time I've been wanting to find a decent way to 'remember' my travels (aside from souvenirs, photos and whatnot). I've been an avid Lego fan since before I can remember, and as such really wanted to combine the two. My thought is to have a minifig to represent each country I've been to. I've got a few so far eg. Leprechaun to represent Ireland, Lederhosen guy for Germany, Roman Centurion for Italy etc. But, I'm stuck for a lot of them! This is where I'm asking the community for creative help - if you could create a figure to represent each country in Europe, what would it be? I wish there was a Pope figure (Vatican) or an Greek Guard in traditional costume.... I'd like to keep them from official Lego stock without customising it. I've seen some websites that'll make customisable figures, but my budget won't allow that sort of money.
