They were impossible to find around me too. And the ninja sets haven't been too common either.
Any nameless fig is ripe for army building, but I just want to get a third like in issue 21.
I may break down and get the big set, but I'll keep hoping and looking.
I was thinking of using Ninja-Ku as part of the Dragon clan.
They were all around my area for awhile. But I also only bought 3 like in issue 21. I know that there were more in later issues but I liked the smaller number of them.
The box set solved that for me. I have one carded, one box leader, and one box normal figure on display. I like the color variations.
Anyone need a couple of box set Red Ninjas?

I bought 7 of them when they were out and 3 box sets. Now I have 19 red ninjas. I have never seen them out after the first month I found them. Glad I grabbed 7 when I did.
I just shelled out over at Smalljoes. BBTS and EE were out. It was a little more than I'd have liked to pay, but I got a Navy SEAL Mutt cheap for less than 1/2 price, so that takes the sting out of it.
Of course now I'll see 'em on clearence at some grocery store :P
I got one when they were on retail shelves. I would like to buy 4 or 5 more in the future. Maybe I will get one of the Toys R'Us box sets to calm my crave for Red Ninjas.
personally, i quite dislike the "ninja aspect" of Joe. however, i did end up buying 7 single-carded red ninjas and a TRU 3-pack, giving me 10 total, plus a leader. i mainly bought them to have some guys to set up with storm shadow and snake eyes. i have no particular wish to see them re-released, and i find the idea of that quite unlikely given that they are far from the most popular (i.e. fast-selling) characters.
