I bought all of the three pack sets and the vehicles at TRU's around Toronto.  I didn't buy duplicate figures at the time - so when the Viper 3 pack came out I only purchased one, and left about 20 or 30 on the pegs.
I remember the slugger sat around for about 2 years after - same with the conquest Jet from the next year.
I don't remember ever seeing the stars and stripes pack otherwise I would have purchased it, and the only vehicles I don't remember seeing was the Rattler A-10.

I know all the three packs were out here, I bought them all as soon as I saw them, and like everyone else I left all the vipers only buying one pack.

My Destro pack had the pink launcher even........................... :chicken:...I wanted it but never did come across it. I figured it sold out as it was pretty cool...but it sounds like it never made it here.

The Stars and Stripes set didn't make it out here. I was working at TRU at the time and we got everything but.

My only experience with the stars and stripes was picking it up off the shelf over in WNY, and going, I can't believe how crappy this is.  :lol:

I remember finding the Stars & Stripes set on clearance at TRU in NC. I left it there because of the awful Breaker and Rock 'n Roll figures. Sooooo bad.

Ya when I did finally get it I was really disapointed, it must have been a real dork that had the final say on that set.

The Stars and Stripes set was useful for one thing, tearing them out of their package, disassembling them, then using their parts for zombie joes.
