Still, Shredder 2.0 was looking to be rare too but even he seems to be peg warming around here.

Shredder 2.0 was the last figure for the line I'll ever buy online or on Ebay...because literally, the day he finally arrived at my home, I found 3 or 4 of him immediately afterwards.

If there's one thing that has impressed me about the line thus far, is how Playmates is handling the distribution. Like you said, it's not impossible to find characters, new or old, as long as you are willing to be patient, and do some digging. The hardest character that I had to look for so far was Cockroach Terminator, and I now have no problems finding him if I ever wanted to army build. Even Foot Soldiers, which were hard to come by when the line debuted, are pretty easy to track down. Hasbro really could learn a thing or two from the Playmates marketing and distribution departments.

As for the mousers shortage, I'm surprised. I've been able to find them regularly since they were released, as I think only the collectors have been picking them up. They continue to warm pegs mostly in my local area.
