for the life of me, i can't figure out why people pay so much more for single minifigures when you can get the same minifigs from the Castle Chess set or some of the smaller castle sets. for example, people are bidding a lot on ebay auctions to get popular individual minifigs like the new dwarves, princess and evil wizard, but you could just get these figures in new sets (dwarves mine, skeleton tower) only a little bit more. with lego sets being so expensive, doesn't it make sense to get the entire sets just sell off the other unwanted pieces?
maybe a good poll to ask is:
- do you build armies (skeleton armies, crown soldiers) or not?
and if you do, HOW do you usually build your armies? bricklink for individual minifigs, buy lots of small sets, ebay for good deals, or buy large sets with lots of minifigs?
i still think the castle chess set is the best way to build armies..
