Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!

OK, got there with nudge 4. Never would have seen it without it (even as-is I had the answer long before I realized that I had it
). Fun concept, thanks.

Here's the full list, for those who are interested:
Still plenty of metas from Downunder to come!
