legoman12323123 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Just wanted to share my small armies, I prob should just stick two 1 theme and build a massive army instead of all these different ones 6 Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Nice. I would like to collect like this more, but its tough to have enough space. lol Quote
TheOrcKing Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I do like collecting my minifigures, straight up army builders or not. There is a nicely peculiar feeling with having a bunch of the same character(s) standing at attention. Haha. My armies aren't as amassed as yours but I do have a few select ones that are a handful.

Mos_Eisley Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Nice armies! I'm not sure what I like more- stacks of sealed sets or large minifigure armies. Probably sets, but it's close. Here are some of my troops lined up for the Emperor's Christmas Arrival for a contest on Eurobricks a few years ago. 6 Quote
Grolim Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Nice armies! I love seeing big army pics. Not really into doing it myself, yet, maybe one day I'd like an LotR Orc army. For now this is the closest I have with a tomahawk warrior collection. Was going to set up a little display with the 79111 set as some stage. 3 Quote

Mos_Eisley Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Good lord. how long does it take to set that up? It took quite a lot of hours. Not really sure as I put each baseplate together over the course of several days and then put it all together for the shots. How freaking awesome is that setup. Did you win Mos? I didn't win , third maybe? I don't remember. It was a photo contest so they were looking more for pictures of minifigures in Christmas settings. I was going outside the box a bit. But in terms of photography, it wasn't easy to photograph. That setup is pretty large so I couldn't just stand over it and get that perspective. I have won a few other Star Wars contests over there though. Quote
legoman12323123 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Posted January 25, 2014 Good lord. how long does it take to set that up? My next army will be the roman from the minifigure series.. I want to have a legion Quote

Hey, someone else besides me totally digged the Tomahawk Warrior! :biggrin: Quote
Mos_Eisley Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I think I recall you posting that huge display here before. Still cool.: Yea, I did probably around the early days of the site. Since a new army thread started it seemed appropriate to post it again since I'm sure there are plenty of new faces around :) Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I really like the Army buyers on Ebay. So funny when I see a Best Offer for a set of Orcs - 7$. Hmm - oh wait you want 20 sets... Deal! Quote
agp548 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I think I recall you posting that huge display here before. Still cool. Hey, someone else besides me totally digged the Tomahawk Warrior! I love the last of the Mohican tomahawk warrior as well. Still working on my battle between them and the revolutionary soldiers. Quote
TheDarkness Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I have a stack of various clones, stormies and rebels. My focus switched over to LOTR though, and have an army of about 100 Uruk-hai. It is only 9900 short :p Quote
Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 had fun making a zombie horde/army. would love a stormtrooper army Quote
TheOrcKing Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 had fun making a zombie horde/army. would love a stormtrooper armyHow about an army of Stormtrooper Zombies? :) Quote
1derman Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Wow. Compared to some of you guys my collection is pretty tiny. Doesn't matter, I've still got more minifigs than anyone I know. Lol. I actually don't set out to get more than one of any kind, though if I did, I think plain white stormtroopers would be my first choice. You're not far off from being able to recreate the opening scene of ROTJ when Vader arrives on the 2nd death star. I couldn't even dream of getting to thst level. Although, when I started collecting I didn't think I'd ever fill the display case I made for them. Here's my guys. Like I said, not a ton of them but I'm proud of them. There's no rhyme or reason to my collection I just get the ones I like from wherever I find them. I don't stress about completing any sets because that behavior is dangerous for me. I actually feel kinda bad for the ones I don't have room for in the case, so I try to give them something important to do in one of the buildings. Quote
Doofy McGee Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Good grief, I thought I was an avid minifig collector until I saw this thread. Turns out I am just average at best. Lol. And Mos_Eisley... Holy. Freakin. Crap. That Christmas picture is out of this world! It gives me that same feeling I have when I am looking into the Grand Canyon! Quote
beeblet65 Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Hey All - About a year ago I posted a picture of my mini figure collection with quite a few expensive figures - well - its gotten bigger! I could go on describing it, but I think its best just to show you all! I have room for 77 figures. As of now my qualification is any figure $25 or more. - Let me know if you have any suggestions on figures to add! Take a look at the pic below! I had the case custom built starting with a case from Etsy, and then having a framing shop build a hinge and glass door for it. Well worth the investment! Enjoy! Edited September 6, 2014 by beeblet65 5 Quote
Migration Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 At $25 and up for 77 figures that will be a pricy work of art. Keep us posted as you fill that in. Quote
@rtisan Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Nevermind your collection, that box is fantastic! Very well made, and an excellent idea. In all seriousness though (not that that wasn`t) keep it up, I`m sure you`ll fill the case in no time. Plenty of variety to choose from on ebay/bricklink. 1 Quote
Huskers1236 Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Yeah, I was going to say the same thing, the display box is great. As for figures, going to have to add Bespin Leia(I'm assuming the other Leia is smooth hair from 10198). If you want to go the route of Harry Potter, there are many that would qualify for your minimum requirements. Quote
mightycaseyatbat Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 I like your idea! I'm planning to build a case as well (and use museum quality glass). I has planned on doing a certain collection of themes, but your idea shows a variety of themes. I won't copy, but Bravo -- well done! Quote
