Help me out, dopers!
I need to buy several gallons of little plastic toy soldiers on the cheap. Where can I find such a thing?
It would be extra-awesome if they were Greek/Roman soldiers, but I’ll take anything at this point.

It’s what I’m looking for, but I was hoping for cheaper…I’m trying to do this on a student budget.
A couple of good places for lots of cheap little toys:
You’re not going to be sending cupcakes to school with these on them, are you: :dubious:
Thank you, Ethilrist, for stealing my line.
Yes; thank you very much, indeed. 
Dollar Store?
When I was a boy you could buy entire armies and navies for just $4.99!
You get
5 aircraft carries
10 battleships
15 destroyers
12 pt boats
25 tanks
50 units
20 artillery pieces
and much MUCH MORE!
At least that’s what it said in the back of the comic books.
That Rhode Island Novelty place offers “REDEMPTION”. Pretty nice for a toy store.
You forgot the cardboard foot locker that they all fit into.
Walmart sells net bags of 50 or 100 for a couple of dollars - $1.99 if I remember correctly.
F.Pu-du-he-pa-as, do you need them by a certain deadline? Also, is ordering online okay?
How about making your own?
Trying to make something like this?
Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. This’ll be good.
As for what it’s for…can I just say an April Fool’s day prank, and tell the full story after the prank’s gone off?
Yeah, but you have to buy it by the gross to really get a discount. It might take too much time to get that many people to go in on it with you.
