They're not out everywhere. Dead End , Airrachnid, & Shadowstrike BB never made it to this area and neither have Kup, Rumble, or any of the figures with the DVD included.

Transfans tend to panic when things first come out, and drives up the ebay prices artificially.
They did this with Soundwave and Arcee, even though just waiting long enough they're everywhere. They're still doing this with the vehicon, even though he's virtually everywhere now. (I could have a huge army of Vehicons now, if I liked the toy) Prime has actually been the easiest TF toyline to find all the characters to. Kup and Rumble are much the same. They just came out and have yet to reach saturation. I saw them last week, myself. Found Dreadwing (I think is his name? The dude that looks like Depth Charge) on two separate occasions, and he's just hit the market. I've found everyone except for Jet Vehicon... and he's the only one I'm unsure if it's even been released yet.

Yeah, that sounds about right.
The annoying part for me is that the Hasbro ironhide is what I'm waiting on. Though I might get a kup eventuall just to see if the extra iGear head I have can be adapted to it. |

So I would have to disagree very strongly with your last statement. However, I think we're all aware that different areas receive and handle stock differently (not to mention the mindscrew that is the POS system) and that what one person sees in stores is not, on its own, a true indictator of other areas. But your point regarding Rumble and Kup is sound. They're the newest Prime toys to hit retail and there have been very few sightings reported of them.4

Well, those who're still missing vehicon, get ready for a deluge. Not sure what's happened, but apparently hasbro listened because the times I've seen that wave, Vehicon matches Bumblebee as the most common figure.
I counted four of them at target, and lost count at Walmart. They did not find the "Happy balance," and went to the opposite extreme. And I doubt every collector who ever said that they'd buy up every vehicon they could find if Hasbro would release more of them will actually live up to their word. Basically, we're screwed for the next troopbuilder.

I pledge to buy at least 2 more deluxe Vehicons, assuming I do see them finally. I can only hope that Airrachnid, Rumble and the others will get included in future wave revisions. Then I might actually have a shot at keeping up with this line without resorting to online sources.

For Airrachnid? Sounds good, thanks!
Rumble and Kup haven't been out long enough for me to be concerned yet.

Not a problem. I'll keep looking. Just please remember to drop me a line if you find her first.

All 4 of those were on HTS at one time, here's Airachnid and Kup still on there, Kup's cheaper too for some odd reason.
