Title: Army Building In Canada
Post by: AlleyViper on March 17, 2004, 09:35:04 PM
No...not talking about the real (weak) Canadian army, nor do I want to start a battle of the real Canadian Forces.

I'm curious as to who the big army builders are in Canada.  Sure, there are some ridiculous (in a good way) army's built by members of the online Joe community, but from what I can tell, they are Americans (not that there is anything wrong with Americans).  Us Canadians are limited to having to order the good stuff from the US, as you all know.  So lets see who has the forces to take over Canada.  And I don't think this is the kind of d!ck waving that it is referred to as on other boards.  Some people like to spend their money on army builders, some don't.  And I like to see pictures (greedy, I know) of some huge or at least semi-huge army's.  :thumbsup:

I'm a hardcore army builder, my best number would have to be about 28 of the new sculpt IGs, then 20ish vipers, bats etc. You can check out some of my pics over at www.geocities.com/custo1987 (http://www.geocities.com/custo1987) and i'll be posting new ones when i get a chance.

The most of one sculpt being 86 "Viper" mold figures (not including the 94 version or the VvV version)

I don't really see the point of having more than a dozen of a particular army builder. The onyl reason i have so many IGs is because they're my fave new sculpt and i have a large castle destro set up that needs IGs.

I army build in sets of 3. That way I can usually obtain my goals (that and I'm out of shelf space again).

Uh, hey Deadshot, you need to swing by my neck of the woods sometime if your into Heat vipers. I have a couple I'm willing to trade (no weapons).

Thats what I use to do...build in threes...it was great...then I bought a few lots and did not have the heart to sell off CG, Eels, and Snow Serpents...Bats....IGs...even Tele's...so now I am stuck with them!!

I would trade them for other figure toy lines....like Black Hole, D&D action figures...and so on...lol!!

Why does my name get mentioned with army building  :D

Honestly, I don't army build like I use to.  I use to be on the army building bandwagon before it got full.  But I decided to jump off before it crashed.  Gone are the days were I can get the guys I wanted for less than 15 bucks CAN.  Once I became a completist and went back into foreign collecting, something had to give.  But when I see a chance to get 10 in one shot, I tend to go for it only if I buying the items in person.    

Also I refuse to army build JVC style figures.  That saves me some coin. I only go after the the better looking ARAH figures.  Keeping that in mind, Bats V1, Snow Serpents v1, Vipers v1 and Crimson Guards v1 are the the guys that I have most of.  My target number is around 20 guys.  That was the case until the cobra infantry sets were released this year.  That number is really unlimited because each guy is different.

I only build up to 12 of each cobra grunt.  Only eels I'm going to about 15 or 16.
