I have quite a few, but most of them are slottabased (heresy!) 28mm
(more
heresy!) figures from other lines.. (even more heresy!)
I agree, I'd love to see a pack of MIB's (and WIB's) in the Streel Level
range.

SL-10 RI0T COPS: 4 police troops In full riot gear, with big sticks;
riot shieid
may be cut from any Scrap clear plastic and affixed to moulded
boss on arm
of each figure.

I haven't seen the SWAT team, but it probably has most of what you are
looking
for.
SL-5 SWAT SPECIAL UNIT: three troopers in ballistic vests and caps:
marksman
with sniper rifle, kneeling trooper with grenade launcher. officer
with
loudhailer.
I'd second the call for another team though, since I'd prefeer about 6
different
figures for each type of "unit" (street cops, SWAT, Riot cops, etc) Of
course I
don't know how well they are selling and I can't really complain, since
I
haven't bought mine... :-)

Nothing specific, but perhaps the Bubblegum crisis figures?
