Yes - the RR mini-fig pack (4930) includes one dark grey torso (even though
it's a little marred by having the yellow&black striping on one of the

You might want to check any nearby TRU stores if you haven't been in them in
a while. The local shop here in Richmond, VA didn't have any of the 4930

on Brickbay - if you have any suggestions you're willing to share I'd
appreciate it. My other idea was to try and build up and excess of
confederates and see if someone wanted to trade.
