Army Men vs Zombies - Another Shelfie

Last October I posted a shelfie as I noticed a Army Men vs Zombies bucket of "soldiers" in a Swedish toy store located at the border not so far from where I live. It was clearly promoted in the shop due to Halloween was coming up. I did not buy a bucket because I think it was a bit too pricey and contained The Corps futuristic Army Men which I literally has buckets of already. Besides I think the zombies looked a bit too chuncky.

As it's often more economical to buy groceries in Sweden than in Norway and we don't actually live that far away from the border, we sometimes do our shopping there. When I was there yesterday I also stopped by a Swedish toy store to have a look as they often sell things there like Norwegian shops don't. -Like army men. And so it was this time as well.

In the shop I found another bucket of 'Army Men vs Zombies' at about half the price as the bucket I saw in October.

I
t's still labeled with 'Zombie Hunter' and contains the same futuristic Army Men and cartoonish Zombies as earlier:

This time I had a closer look at the chunky Zombies and it looks like the comes in a lot of different poses:

So, did I buy anyone this time?
The price was almost halved, but so was the content with less than half of the miniatures from the previous set. This time it was only 43 miniatures in the bucket, and it has a black plastic tubing in the midle to make the bucket look full of little figures. So priced at  £ 7,87 or $ 10,52 or € 9,11 this offer was actually worse than for similar figures last year. Didn't buy any then, didn't buy any now.

It would be nice to try out some 'Zombie games' sometime, but I think some really bad Army Men I bought a while ago can be turned into Zombies good enough for such a game.
