Notes: Danger Convoy had a lot of names suggested - Rodent Convoy, Rodentia Convoy, Mickey Convoy, Convoy Mouse, Disney Convoy... (Lewis writes: "How about "Chuck E. Convoy"? Maybe not. :-) Crackup - Special thanks to Andres, who made Crackup possible. He's quite the looker. Now if we can just trick him into offering up the Power Kraut variant... :-) Shining Spider - Lewis writes, "Dear Fred: let me get this straight- a 'Gold Bug', with the powers and proportionate strength of a spider?! You're killing me." :-) Sew-3PO - The nominal Cheesehead Garrison Exclusive item. Completes the set. :-) Note that this isn't a gold droid with black highlights; he's clearly a black droid with gold highlights. The distinction is important.
