I would have to say that it was a tie between Leader Class Prime earlier in the year and then Blackout was for some reason harder to find until BF came, same goes for Ironhide... Didn't see these fellas for a long time until Black Friday came along!!!

Camero Concept Bumblebee, Evolution set, and G1 Movie Jazz

by **ElSnarfo** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 2:41 am

Well so far i've yet to find:

Concept Bumblebee
Starscream
Blackout
Leader Megatron
Leader Optimus Prime
Leader Brawl

Not sure if I'll ever see Concept Bee or Leader Brawl here in Holland..

So I guess the above qualify as hard to find

I think I've yet to NOT see Leader Megs and Leader Brawl, those guys are everywhere and nobody wants them LOL!

Jazz, not the Final Battle one. which makes me angry because a few months ago they were available by the dozen in our place. idiot me for only deciding to complete the TFTM Autobot lineup a month and a half ago. :-x

also Ironhide and Ratchet, though thank God i already got my IH. now i needs only to wait for my uncle in NJ to confirm if a BB Ratchet has been "acquired" for me.

They were all kind of hard in their own way. I've only seen ratchet twice, ones regular once rescue. I've seen starscream once, thundercracker once. I've seen balcakout a few times now, but this happened just recently. I've seen ironhide once. I've seen all the leaders countless times. I've seen concept bb once.

What i never even got a chance to see? Evolution of a hero 2 pack.

In all fairness, i wasn't exactly looking for any of the figures above except concept bb, but just thought i'd share. :grin:

by **AlienQuiksilver** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 4:31 am

- Robovision Prime
- BB 2 pack

I guess this just means that the Targets in my area aren't restocked as often as they should be. :-?

I still can't find Ironhide in my region(they say there was some actually), and it' not worth that much for me to get him from e-bay...

News Credits: 1 · by **Blackstreak** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 6:36 am

When I got around to buying him I couldn't find a Starscream anywhere. I did find the G1 colored version of him...so thats what I got instead. I noticed the head mold is different.

Not really any of them, if there’s one I want I’ll save my money until I can find the one I want, but if I had to say, 08 Bumblebee and Longarm.

by **olokin** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 7:57 am

Its got to be Concept BB. Took me a while to find one.

For me in the Chicago, USA, area, it was the 2nd wave Deluxes- Concept Bumblebee, Longarm, Dropkick, and Arcee. I got most of the movie figs pretty early in their release, but the above ones gave me a struggle, as many others can relate to I'm sure.

by **DeepWater** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 8:53 am

Definitely Arcee! A collector friend and myself just kept driving all over the place trying to find one. Eventually he found one on his own and drove it over to me. And I managed to find the second one to give to him. Overall, I think it took almost a month from when we knew they'd started appearing out there.

But the fun was in looking!

News Credits: 4 · by **Bumblethumper** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 9:32 am

Definitely Ironhide. It appeared briefly once, only to vanish forever. But I got it.

Of course if I'd known in advance what a miserable disappointment I'd find him to be, I wouldn't have minded missing out.

everything else seemed scarce at first only to become shelf warmers shortly thereafter.

FAB Brawl and FAB Ratchet are another 2 that I only saw once and never since. If I saw them again, I might be tempted to get one or the other, but I'm really not bothered either way.

by **TheStarScreamer** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 9:47 am

Yellow/green Ratchet was the toughest for me. I never saw him one time. Of course, after I bought one here online from a forum member, I saw one about 2-3 weeks later at Target alon with Ironhide. I have seen Ironhide at retail twice, and bought both. Never seen V Prime on the shelves, but I have the Leader one anyways.

Next would have to be Barricade there was a long time where I could not find him for the life of me. He eventually showed up though. I haven't seen Starscream since late October either.

by **Bluesummers** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 10:24 am

The only figs that I am missing out of the entire line, are:

Blackout
Ironhide
Autobot Ratchet
Autobot Jazz

And Black Friday sure as hell didn't help replenish them. If it did, they were probably snagged/scalped before I could get to them. So I'll have to severely overpay for figs that should be widely available in the first place.

Ack, I better stop before I start ranting..

by **Maximum Burn** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 11:27 am

Ironhide for sure. Voyager classes are the hardest for me.

by **thedistinctroom** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 12:39 pm

08 Bumblebee, Deluxe Arcee. All the other ones I've found and purchased at the local Target.

News Credits: 767 · by **Dead Metal** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 12:42 pm

All the Exclusives and everything past wave 1.

News Credits: 198 · by **DevastaTTor** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 12:58 pm

Concept and 70's BB are both in short supply around here (Atlanta/Athens, GA). Concept was the hardest for me though.

News Credits: 1 · by **Agent 007** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 5:17 pm

09bb and fb Jazz

News Credits: 972 · by **i_amtrunks** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 5:20 pm

Still yet to see a Longarm.

All the others I either found early or waited for a while to get.

Figure I'll do the same with Longarm.

by **TheStarScreamer** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 6:56 pm

I saw every movie TF listed in this thread between 1 TRu and 1 WM today. They're back out in full force for sure. I must have seen 5x each Voyager (except Ratchet, only one of his green version) and both Jazzes, Bumblebees, Longarms and Arcees.

Looking back, Target Robovision Prime and Best Buy Megatron & Ratchet - store exclusives, limited in quantity, only appeared once, and never restocked.
