Colder Soldier,
I hope my comments didn't egg the other negativity on, but I'm sure it did. And for that I am truly sorry.
I wouldn't personally buy 3 cases of the latest wave, whether I had the money to blow or not, knowing what a b@lls ache they are to find. I'd rather more folks have a shot at getting a Gold Destro and Crimson Guardsman, etc.
That being said, I would be a hypocrite if I bashed "troop building," as I buy extra Cobra Soldiers and Officers all the time. Of course, Soldiers and Officers are normally the last remnants on the pegs keeping fresh cases from being put out. But how many Iron Grenadier Destro's or Snowjobs does one army need?
Because they are comparably inexpensive too collect, I myself (who opens everything to display) look to have a second MOC copy of certain figures. But I only buy the duplicates once they are evidently plentiful. I.E. I have MOC CC, Cobra Trooper and Officer to keep for posterity.
So obviously these matters are a judgment call we all make. Although I thing you were being hoar-dish with the Wave 5 figs, I certainly don't think you should be crucified for it or even insulted. I really just wanted to flick you in the ribs in a way that stung but went away fast...
We all need to catch our breaths and think about what we are saying to each other. This is not war and peace, just little toy soldiers we put on shelves and stare at as if we have accomplished something great.
