    I'm going to leave out HA Mudflap because, let's face it, other than the 1 - 2 sightings awhile ago, no one has seen HA Mudflap.

    The only ones I haven't seen at all at retail are the last wave of Deluxes (Evac, red Rampage), although I don't want either of them, so I haven't been looking all that hard for them.

    Figures I've seen only rarely:

    - Thrust
    - Skystalker
    - Scattorshot
    - Shadow Command Megatron
    - Swerve
    - Brawn
    - Lockdown
    - Ratchet (Deluxe)

    I only saw one ROTF 2010 Voyager. Recon Ironhide. and I got it. I had to get Bludgeon from a store 40 miles away.

    And no other HAs besides Bumblebee and Sideswipe. Scouts are hard to find... Skystalker, Breakdown, and Scattorshot.

    *Sigh*........

    In the UK it's pretty rough.

    We've actually got the new scouts (Brakedown, Skystalker etc) but we went straight from the Thrust/Gears deluxes to the Lockdown NEST wave and little sign that we will get anything else til Generations.

    Our last Voyager was Stratosphere and HA Barricade never came out here.

    In fact, aside from Legends Devastator and the NEST deluxes (Alliance BB, Strike Mission Sideswipe et al) we have had virtually no new figures on UK shelves at all this year. And we're half way through JUNE!!!

    Mindwipe is really tough to track down around here. Obviously HA Mudflap also, but I don't collect the HA line anyways...

    For me it's easily Leader Jetfire. I stopped at Target, Walmart, and TRU, on my way home from work just about every other day all last summer until I got one. When I finally found him it was about a week after Walmart dropped Leaders to $35, so I at least got $10 for my efforts. I only saw him one other time after that.

    I haven't been looking in stores for anything since I got Mindwipe in March. I haven't seen HA Mudflap, Red Rampage, or Evac, but I really haven't been looking.

    Never saw the wave with Red Rampage or Evac. If I didn't get HA Mudflap from BBTS I would think he was a myth.

    I mostly passed the movie line by, but from what I've seen Bludgeon almost completely skipped my area. I've only seen him in stores once (and immediately bought him). The Lockdown wave of deluxes was pretty hard to find, too, since most of the stores I regularly visit are stuffed to the gills with the Mudflap and Scorponok repaints.

    HA Mudflap doesn't exist. I think it's all a big conspiracy.

    Besides the obvious ones that everyone's mentioned, I don't remember anyone mentioning Interrogator Barricade. He was around for a bit, never there for long, and when he was gone, he was GONE. Wheelie shelfwarmed for a short while, but he's largely disappeared around here. I never see Thrust anymore. My local Target never got any Leader Jetfires or Human Alliance Barricades. Voyagers are scarce everywhere around here right now.

    The big shelfwarmers here have always been Yellow Rampage, Gears and Tuner Mudflap. Sideways used to be there but he's thinned out nicely, Mixmaster used to be there but he's all but gone. The Wal-Mart near my house is the only place left with a decent Deluxe assortment, and yet still they don't have anyone I want. I just came from there and they didn't have a single Voyager or Leader.
