I'm a fan of the Iron Grenadiers dating back to 1988, when I received pretty much the entire faction either for my birthday or Christmas. I was at Toys R Us today and saw both the Comic 2-Pack with Destro and an IG as well as the 3-Pack with Destro, an IG and the IG Officer. I would like to buy one of these to have updates of my 88 Destro and IG for display, but I don't need both of them.
I don't particularly like the purple trim on 3-Pack Destro nor the purple mask on the Officer, but someone on here suggested using that figure to represent Voltar, one of my favorite evil characters from the entire line. I can sorta buy into that, but I would have to kitbash him a backpack and find a vulture to stand on it. So, Tankers, which set is the better buy?

I said Destro & IG Comic Pack, because I didn't like the IG with the Purple Trim.
I really wish the 3 pack just would have had Destro and 2 traditional IG's. |

I'd say the Viper & IG comic pack, since you get two army builders that way, and no extra Destro to deal with. (I know, it wasn't an option)

3 pack. you can still get it at Ross for $7.99, not to mention the only IG version of Destro worth having is the single pack so whichever Destro you get in either set is a throwaway anyways, so you may as well go with the extra purple IG for the same (or less) price as just getting one single red IG.

as others have said, unless you can figure out what to do with the extra destros, Id go with the 2 pack.

Unfortunately I have not seen the Viper/IG pack anywhere. I already have the 25th Viper, although frankly I like Vipers so that would not be a problem. Honestly if Hasbro had put out a single carded IG I would just get that, but I don't think that is going to happen.
Of course, I could always just repaint the purple on Destro and the IG Officer and that would pretty much solve the color issue. Why are the Destros "throwaways," gunslinger?
