So, which of the DOTM toys so far are the most rare? I got Roadbuster lastnight, but I wanted Crankcase. I got Roadbuster because they only had one of them, but they had 2 Crankcases. They also had thousands of Bumblebees, so I won't bother with those.

So far I have seen all of them, nothing's rare at the moment. I think.. Maybe VOY Shockwave? But I seen a couple..

It's too early to declare anything "rare". You say you've only seen two Crankcases and one Roadbuster, but I've seen plenty of both. It's different from state to state, town to town, and store to store.

The rarest right now is Leader Ironhide. Nobody has spotted it in stores till now.

Leader Ironhide is out? I figured he'd be in the next wave, since we got Sentinel Prime and Bumblebee.

I've done a ton of hunting and I have seen all of waves one and 2 except Shockwave and Topspin. Granted most places near me only got wave 1--I have seen one each of the other wave 2 deluxes andvoyagers.

Shockwave and Topspin are the only DOTM I have gotten so far. I got them release day because there was only one of each!

Yeah, on the release day I stopped at Target and a Couple WMs on the way to work since they open early and they only had wave 1. I went to TRU on my lunchbreak and their wavemates were there, but not TS and SW...I stopped at other places on the way home from work and found the same situation. So frustrating!

Sentinel prime & shockwave.
once the movie plays in theathres,sentinel & shockwave are going to become even harder to find in stores.

I've seen plenty of Sentinels in every store I've checked.
As I said, inventory varies from state to state, town to town, and store to store. And within each store it will vary from day to day.
This thread is pointless. The rarest DOTM toys are the ones that haven't come out yet. Everyone here is just naming the ones they haven't seen in the one or two stores they checked. That doesn't mean they're rare.

Right! Too early for that. Few months later many DOTM stuffs will become overstock and shelf warmers and we still won't see late Generation stuffs.

Well, I've only been to one store the entire week, and that was Target last night; so maybe they have the rest somewhere else.

That's my point, exactly. People are taking one trip to one or two stores and then declaring a figure "rare" because they didn't find it.

If I had to pick one I'd say it's Shockwave. He's probably the most wanted figure and since he's wave 2 some places aren't carrying him just yet.

Right now it's Topspin. I found 1 at my Walmart but sadly couldn't get him because I was already committed to buying Prime, Bee, and Ratchet that day, and couldn't spare the money. I went back to get him and he was gone

Topspin is out now? I haven't seen any so I guess we have a new front runner.

Yeah I guess Skyhammer can come in 3rd, saw him at Walmart too.
I haven't seen Topspin since that day so he may be gone for the moment.

first movie was bb and people were panicking over him then we got flooded with him in later waves with some of the same people complaining that were getting too many of them and lets not forget animated towards the end of that line people complained about the rarity of arcee,rodimus, ironhide and his ratchet remold now it doesnt take long to find complaints about tuner mudflaps and you guessed it arcee,rodimus,ratchet, and ironhide clooging shelves. so please for all of our sakes and sanity get a grip they will be released in mass you have my word on it.

I have yet to even see a Reveal the shield Scourge or Kup. But I do find a bunch of Generations Blurrs at Toys R Us now. Too bad DOTM is out, and I have no more desire for that Blurr.

Really? I didn't get The Fallen in my town until about a month after the release.

I have seen every toy except Shockwave, Leader Ironhide, and Ultimate Prime. And from what I've heard the last too don't come out till after the movie is released...
