Stopped by the Wal-Mart in St. Robert, MO (that's the one at which it seems like I always find stuff.) Found the Crimson Twins, CG/Officer, Ace/WW comic packs in multiples. I already had these, but bought a second of each to keep in package, since I really like the way they look. Well, I bought 4 of the CG/Officer packs, because, hey, quick troop building. They also had Torpedo, Rock 'n Roll, Crimson Guard, IG Destro, and Battle Armor CC. Gave me a chance to get my second IG Destro (again, for in package display), three of the CGs, and two each of the new three. Then on the way home, I stopped at the Wal-Mart in Lebanon, MO. For those in the area, since I know there are collectors in Springfield and Marshfield, Lebanon is 25 miles from St. Robert and about 45 miles from Springfield. The Lebanon store had all the figures as well, and the comic packs. I bought another Torpedo for a custom, but, at least when I left, there were still CGs, all the comic packs, and BACC, RnR, Torpedo, IG Destro.
As an aside, I think I've come up with a decent formula for a passable Eel, with the exception of the helmet: Torpedo's body and legs with BACC's arms. Not perfect, but certainly decent enough if colored properly. Here's hoping Hasbro is thinking the same thing.
