Amazing... Where do you buy so many? Did they all cost 2 or 3 USD apiece, or did you buy them in bulk? That many minifigs would have cost more than my car if you had bought separately... That is not saying much when it comes to Lego it seems, there is a $500 Millennium Falcon on lego.com. If I remember correctly, Lego cost less a few years ago :/ 20-something USD could have bought a mid-sized Johny Thunder set.

It took lots of odd jobs and stuff to afford and quite a few years to collect. I did all this when I was but a lad way back in the mid 1980's in Scotland, the UK. Now they are my young sons, he just lets me play from time to time. I have no idea how much they cost total, not much now, being that they are second hand and very well used and old.

A lot of hands were broken too, and some arms as well. I haven't counted them all but I'm pretty sure I have well over 100. And yeah, it's expensive business (as I will notice soon), but then most hobbies are.
This might help you with your arm problem.

Nice. I have lots of spare droid arms, but no viking horns. In my monster army (don't expect much from it though) some maimed hands actually fit in well. Luckily I managed to give all those one handed 'weapons', and replacement hands seem cheap. I'm tempted to try the thing with the viking horn now tho ^^.

And yea during the recession, Lego decided to up its Factory prices so now it's more expensive. The shift up hasn't necessarily rippled over to bricklink though so you can still get good deals there. Minifigs still are pricey though.

Yeah. It might be more profitable to buy torsos, heads and legs apart. I'm not 100 percent sure but I do think so.

my army counts from about 90-130 figs, with peaches (minority about 25) and mega blox (smaller minority about 15) and yellows (majority about 90) i don't really like mega blox cuz they can only grip the weapons they come with. that and mega blox's are peaches. and peaches just don't look right. one thing is that you can make face decals in yellow. but sticky paper is expensive. try and avoid peaches all together unless u need troops right then. otherwise use bricklink.

I'm going to buy a lot of figs because I have 150 bucks and my birthday is close.
