Ya'll are just captivated by her cause she's pretty.
If she looked like this,

somehow I suspect this thread would just be about her army and not her gender.

Really? So are you from Belarus (Eastern Europe) too? She and I are both migrants to the USA and we both live in NY. Although Im from the Philippines (Southeast Asia).Ianan wrote:Holy freep!That's my cousin!!

Seriously...
Army building is fun. As its like having your own personal army to fight your LEGO battles for you. Large armies = more "LEGO military power" for the AFOL who owns it. And yes, girl collectors are rare as it is, and female army-collectors are rarer still.natepc wrote:What I don't understand is the point of all this. Yes, a girl who has a huge army. Your point? Is it that amazingly uncommon?
Then again, I've never been that fond of army building, never saw the point or had the funds.

And there's the usually-testosterone-induced (but I guess not in this case) contest of "who has more?". I know there are people out there who have 5000+ castle minifigs (I've only got about 4,000 minifigs *total* let alone that many *castle* figs), so rest assured it's pretty difficult to claim the title of 'biggest castle army'. There's always some lurker out there with twice as much!

Sadly, no. I used to keep all my figs assembled, but it got too difficult to keep them that way, so now I'd have to put together all 4000-or-so figs that I have (my stats say I have 3945 figs, but that's not counting about ~150 skeletons, and the other few dozen figs I could probably put together from odds and ends). Back when I used to keep them whole (I had about 1000 figs or so at the time) I would set them all up for the sake of viewing tons of 'figs, but now it'd probably be way too tediousJPinoy wrote:Got pics?davee123 wrote:(I've only got about 4,000 minifigs *total* let alone that many *castle* figs)

But then I noted the self-portrait pic she took of herself on the mirror, and thought okay... the Army builder is a girl.

A likely story... lol. Actually, that's quite understandable.However, I have a problem setting up my armies right now due to some obstructions in the living room. Otherwise I would have plenty of room to display about 3,000 minifigs.
