I army build I think as long as your not stealing from children(taking them directly out of there hands) It's never too much. If your putting yourself in the poor house probably a good Idea to stop!

I think the scalpers are more of the problem than army-builders. I admit, seeing someone with 50-100 troopers is a little crazy, but I can't hold it against them. Hasbro should just make more of the army builders from the start. If I see ten of anything sitting on a peg it should be Vipers, not Wild Bill.

Or at least more army building battle packs
10 packs would be fun.

I agree Hasbro needs to make more of the army builders and lay off of the Dukes and Cobra Commanders.

I am not a huge army builder, but I say if you can afford it and it makes you happy, go for it. Jay Leno collects cars, 'cause it makes him happy and he can definitely afford it. Besides, I thoroughly enjoy seeing the pictures everybody puts up of their collections, especially when there are dozens of troops lined up. I may be kind of a dork, but I think it makes for a great picture . . . if anything, it makes me a little envious. I say, keep building!

I do not collect Star Wars, but I noticed a "droid factory" or something for sale at Wal-Mart the other day (forgive me if this is incorrect, but like I said, I don't collect Star Wars.)
I think Hasbro should make a BAT troop builder in the form of a "BAT Factory" or something, kind of like the Night Watch for the troopers.

The idea of a "BAT factory" made me think of something. The beautiful thing about BATs is that you can even make use of incomplete ones. If the legs are gone you can still pass them off as battle-damaged and have them crawling after the Joes.

No one will stop you over the internet, if you're happy, what's the big deal.


I don't like people who are greedy, but they can be - it's a free country. Army builders (the big ones) annoy me as much as the complainers do. Seriously
