How many ordinary angels do I have to trade in to get an archangel?

Now, Pentax/Hoya needs to knock together about 250,000 of them, give one each 
to Paris Hilton, Victoria Beckham and a couple of male "celebs" (funny how I 
can't remember one of _their_ names) and then sit back and enjoy the ride.

We can pick them up from thrift shops in a year or so.
