3 out of my 4 were found in stores(2 on the same day, both within 30 minutes of bidding on that 4th). Before I found them, though, I'd missed about 6 of them(I'd get there and it would be the only figure missing from the case on shelves).

This has become Hasbro's MO in the last year, high demand and no supply. Which is bad enough, but when the scalpers get wind of the situation the problem becomes much worse. I've only seen a couple of Hot Shot's and Knockouts myself, no Vehicon.

Starscream and Bulkhead are almost as bad, I only saw them once and I'm glad I bought them when I had the chance.

I was at walmart yesterday and they said the same thing about the christmas reset. So I hope the wave revision comes soon.

I did find one vehicon back on May 20th and that was the only one I ever found.

I've noticed things have been getting a little slim lately. Instead of an ocean of Bumblebees in every store it's down to a sea of them. Oddly though TRU just restocked DotM and the last few Generations figures. Sky Shadow, Kup, Junkheap, etc.
