If they are minifig sized you could put them on card stock and make a paper army.

Mini-Warhead has two of these books... due to some inatentive relative at Manly Santa Day or somesuch. No, not me. I'm pretty sure it has a load of stickers at the back that'll be just perfect for your di... I mean, for Mini-Fig Torsos.

Tzan's idea isn't so bad, perhaps some rifle range targets could be made this way?

@WN: Soap isn't going to work on Silva. Magic Soap's been trying to wash Silva out for years and it's never worked. You need to wash his hair with shampoo and conditioner. It's the only way to be sure.

okay, went to toys R us to pick up some skellies, and see what other things caught my eye.

they didn't. The medieval sets, while being really, really good, were just not worth the price, IMO. I might get some of the cheaper ones later, but for right now I focused on building my army, specifically my undead army (which I still haven't taken pictures of, but I'm getting there, don't worry)

so, got 10 skeleton choppers. I now have two of Zahru's squads (eight to a squad, one squad leader, and a necromancer)

Actually, the Zahru scale is:
6 figs + 1 squad leader + 1 cleric/necoylte/warpig (optional)

Also: 10 skeleton choppers? Whoa.

yes, that's what I did. by 'eight to a squad' i meant in total. But there are six regulars, one commender, and a necromancer (which makes... eight!)

I was buying some clip top containers in the supermarket and someone said to me, 'Yes those are very handy aren't they Sister?'
'Yes they are,' I replied, 'I keep my Lego in them.......'

The look I got was priceless :D

I'll bet. I still can't quite get the stereotypical nun picture out of my head. *sound of head+wall*

Most of the time I'm wearing ordinary, but somewhat old fashioned clothing with a headscarf and a three inch wooden cross on a cord around my neck, but yes, it isn't too difficult to figure out that I'm a Religious.
My habit mainly gets worn for Mass or formal occasions. I'd feel a bit odd wearing it to the supermarket.

I remember when I was in Italy how many of the Nuns would wear their habits everywhere. You would see them at the store, ice cream stands, etc. I saw few if any "plain cloths" Numns like I do here. In the Hospital where my wife works the only way you spot the Nuns is their small cross pin on their lapel.

I've got a very plain work habit with a canvas apron that I'll wear about town or when I go to the garden centre or the hardware store & etc, but I wouldn't like to wear my formal 'good' habit when I''m doing everyday things.
I suppose if I was in Rome I'd wear my habit everywhere too since I'd regard that as being a significantly special occassion. :D

Funny, I just bought a bunch of clip-top containers at the supermarket for lego storage too. Just the thing, secure, durable and stackable...

I also lament the fact that the Pharaoh's Quest series are not available in NZ (i bought a small set - the scarab one - off TradeMe, but no shops carry them).

I hope we get the alien invasion sets when they come out...

New Zealand is an empty Lego wasteland. I blame the recession for the reason why shops don't seem to want carry much Lego in stock at the moment.

And the cost to ship them in must hurt too. :(

On the happy front, picked up a mech on ebay for my Vinx to use.

I am thinking of doing a few minor changes to it, but I liked it as it was enough to bid on it. :D
