Believe me the availability of Transformers is no better than Marvel Universe! Specialist comic stores (Forbidden Planet) do at least keep roughly up to date with MU, no one seems interested in Transformers (especially Generations).

I think the most frustrating thing is not knowing, I'd almost be happier if supply was continuously crap, then I'd know not to bother looking for things in stores, but every now and again it borders on acceptable!

I had MU Ghost Rider on pre-order at BBTS only for it to appear in FP before BBTS got it, Generations Jazz and Tracks appeared at Smyths about a week after BBTS got them in. Then to add to the confusion, the Entertainer sometimes turns up with amazing deals like Archangel for £4!

I reckon the best thing to do is keep an eye on online sites for information on wave breakdowns (BBTS is good for this), if a figure you want is rare (i.e. one per case) then pre-order it. Otherwise with more common figures, you should be okay taking your chances with retail or ebay.
