Cool!  I like the idea of having large quantities of small mecha that behave in
almost a hive-like behavior.  I tried mass producing an Insectoid mecha, but
those darn hinges w/ the technic pins you have used are notoriously hard to

Actually, in my area there's a discount clothing store called Winners, which
has a toy section, and right now they've got loads of Arctic Base sets (set

discounted Arctic combo sets (3 small ones), also with the same pieces.

I find that only the one side (black) has enough friction-- the other is
equivalent to a grey technic pin.

happy shopping!
