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.

Both Soundwave and Arcee are more common, but still hard to come by around here (unlike BB, Ratchet and Wheeljack). I have never personally seen a Vehicon on the pegs (except the Legion toy) with or without the DVD pack-in. And I've only seen the Cyberverse Commander version of Dreadwing at retail (not the voyager).

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
