More NPCs for Dinoreich, - though if I can find some more of the US Cavalry guys there just might be an American presence on Dinoreich as well

Might I suggest using the US Cavalry as sort of an embassy-Marine-guard style force? Small, independent-minded, but crack shots, who try to stay neutral in everything until the local US representative is threatened in any way (which would hopefully happen a lot), at which point they gun down all hostiles with extreme prejudice.

I do already have some assorted American privateer Dinosaur hunter/ Treasure hunter types so it would be a good idea to have an embassy on Dinoreich (must find someone suitable to be the ambassador). The Cavalry guys are in good condition and I had to pay a slightly steep price for them, but if I could find two or three more I'd be very happy.

I traded this for 3 transformers, and even ended up getting about 5$ cash too from the guy:

Teh jealousy!!

What games are these? I only recognize Super Mario World. Which is good to have of course.

Actually i do own a N64 but do not know if it is working due to lack of games and a SNES, also without games, but most importantly without anyone to play Super Mario Kart against...

Games are:

2 Super Mario Worlds (I have 3 now total!

)
Super Mario Allstars
Primal Rage (mortal kombat with dinosaurs)
Tiny Toons (platformer, looks and plays well)
We're back - A dinosaur's story and Addams Family (movie-tie-ins, probably sidescrollers, probably crap)
Big Sky Trooper (clunky but looks nice, obscure lucasarts title)
Plok (no idea what's this, the cartridge is probably messed up, won't run)

What I'd really like to get is Castlevania 4 and Zombies ate my neighbours.

Also, guessing from the warning signs, this snes and the games were probably from the DDR back in the day

Scored a Geisha girl... my 5 year old actually found it! She wanted it really bad and managed to find it. I molested about 20 packages and couldn't find a viking... gave up =(

one 8057 Wreck Raider
two 8083 Hoth Rebel Trooper Battle Packs
two 7914 Mandalorian Battle Packs.

Not joking, half the collectibles at the lego store in chicago are Geisha girls. It took me so long to find the ones I wanted. Paco scrambled for the vikings, he got four.

Paco wins! I bet the ones I was sorting through are picked over as well....

We ended up with four Vikings, two Hazmats and three Musketeers. But we also have four Artists and three Sailors as well.

Sometimes "feeling up" the bag fails you.

Lol, yeah, Ogel was looking through the crib sheets for series 4, and there was a huge pile of Geisha girls we through behind the bin where the bags of figures were. I was meanwhile feeling all the packages, and put all the Vikings I found in my corner so no one would take them from me.

Yeah I know what you mean. At Lego Kids Fest my son and I were feeling up a bunch of them. We thought for sure we had everything we wanted.... one and ended up with a tennis girl

Series 3 was horrible to touch out because of the many similar small elements. Series 4 is better imo, because of the more straighforward parts for each fig. Although I couldn't differentiate the werewolf from the frankenstein monster, I can surely guess almost everyone else by simply going touchy-feely on the bags. It consumes time tho, and is a bit weird in smaller stores, so I usually harass in supermarkets.

I found the werewolf by his little bone.

Dudes at the Lego store will help feel packages with you! But yeah... at other stores... people look at you funny =) I was at this computer nerd center and they had some by the cash register. A little kid (4 yr old?) had one in his hand... I asked which one he was looking for... then told him he can tell who they are by feeling the pieces.

He turns to his dad and says all loud "SEE dad! I TOLD you so!"

Couldn't help but laugh out loud!
