How many legionaries it's possible to have.
« on: February 01, 2016, 18:23:43 »
Last year as US Yankees know PM.US had about thirty or forty 20% sales. For some reason I got in the compulsive habit of buying as many 7878s (3 Roman legionaries) as possible, which is nine at a time.

I can now reveal the extent of my acquisition.

I missed some of the early sales, and I've already opened some of the packages, so this isn't an accurate representation of what was possible.

But it's still a lot.







I count 118 packages of 3 klickies each, so: 354 reserve troops for the fighting XXIIIrd. I've got about 70 unpackaged so about 425 total soldiers.

I was going to stop doing it this year but I have just noticed that the regular price for 7878 is now 8.99, in other words a permanent 20% discount. So when the next 20% sale comes I'll be able to save money!

I like to think that I am singlehandedly responsible for the reintroduction of the Roman theme.

Now, pics in formation - and detwinned! - please :)

Yeah the full legion is halfway set up, I am getting close to photos and a big wodge of text explaining everything.

However you and I differ on detwinning, tahra. I will be using the stock legionaries and other klickies with very little modding. Sorry to disappoint you but I must follow my heart in this regard.

Probably... they are hoping that you'll boost the sales of the new sets!
I'm glad that I'm not the only one :)
